What this practice does — and why it matters.
Institutional capital deployed into energy assets demands a level of technical scrutiny that generalist advisors cannot deliver. The difference between a good return and a write-down often lies in details buried deep in engineering, geology or contracts.
Chargeman provides independent technical due diligence and investment advisory for private equity, infrastructure funds, sovereign wealth funds and strategic acquirers.
Our reports are lender-grade, investment-committee-ready, and unafraid to say what needs to be said.

FAQs
Common questions.
How is a typical investment & TDD 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.
