21^st April, Noida - It is great news for the entire project management community in India on AstroWix becoming a proud member of the PMI^® Registered Consultant Program. AstroWix is not only the first organization in India but also the first in Asia to be chosen as the member for this program.

The program is designed to ultimately support PMI’s envisioned goal of organizations embracing, valuing and utilizing project management and attributing their success to it worldwide. Membership to the PMI^® Registered Consultant Program is only awarded to organizations, that could prove years of experience in the areas of project, program and portfolio management aligned to the respective PMI Standards. PMI^® tested and measured the value their members generated for their clients in adopting the project management practices. On the occasion, Mr. Raj Kalady, Managing Director, PMI India said “As organizations continue to grow in scale and scope – taking on ever more complicated projects, it is important to make sure that the same advancements happen in their project management practices, processes or methodologies. The objective of PMI’s Registered Consultant Program (RCP) is to objectively assess what an organization is currently doing against industry recognized best practices, identify gaps in its practice of project management and focus on these gaps as opportunities to drive improvements in their business performance and results. AstroWix being selected as a member of the PMI^® RCP not only acknowledges its commitment to the profession for many years but also is a great impetus for project management itself in India.”

“The membership puts AstroWix on a benchmark to continuously drive value for its customers by setting up professional framework for managing projects.
