Project recovery services under Hitchha are specialized interventions designed to rescue projects that are significantly off-track, facing substantial challenges, or at risk of failure. These services aim to stabilize, re-align, and put projects back on the path to successful completion or minimize loss. We are crucial in mitigating the risks, costs, and potential losses associated with project failures.
