About the Service
What this practice does — and why it matters.
Boards and executive committees increasingly face energy questions that cut across geology, engineering, geopolitics and capital markets. Traditional consulting frameworks struggle to hold all of these together.
Chargeman was built for exactly this brief: independent, executive-grade advisory delivered by senior operators who have lived the decisions, not just analysed them.
We serve as trusted counsel to CEOs, CFOs, boards and government leaders as they navigate energy strategy in a rapidly transitioning world.

FAQs
Common questions.
How is a typical energy advisory engagement structured?+
We begin with a two-to-three week diagnostic, followed by a strategy sprint and, where required, an implementation phase that can run from three to eighteen months depending on scope.
Who leads the engagement from Chargeman's side?+
Every engagement is personally led by PANKAJ MANCHANDA, Founder & CEO, supported by a curated bench of specialists drawn from our global network of operators, engineers and commercial advisors.
Do you work with international or India-only clients?+
Both. We serve energy majors, utilities, sovereign entities and private capital across India, the Middle East, Africa, South-East Asia and Europe.
How do you price your work?+
We work on fixed-scope, retainer, and success-linked models. Fees are agreed transparently at the outset, tied to milestones rather than time-and-materials whenever possible.
Can you integrate with our existing consultants or EPC partners?+
Yes. We routinely act as owner's advisor alongside global engineering firms, financial advisors and legal counsel — bringing sector depth and executive perspective.
How do you handle confidentiality?+
All engagements are governed by robust NDAs, segregated data rooms and strict information-barrier protocols. Confidentiality is fundamental to how we operate.
