Sudhakar Prabhu graduated second in his class in engineering at Bombay University and went on to distinguished post-graduate degree at Imperial College, London. As an Indian immigrant in 1960s Britain, he struggled to find work after graduating, enduring numerous rejections. He was finally hired by a small engineering firm in London, where he rose quickly, working on iconic projects including CentrePoint and Natwest Tower. By the age of 33 he was made part- ner, the youngest ever, many years ahead of the industry norm. In 1972 he took over the firm with Wilem Frischmann and diversified into highways, railways, utilities and townships across Europe, Africa, Middle East and Asia.
