I recently joined Deloitte India as a Consultant (QE) and have been on the bench since onboarding as an external hire.

Haven’t received any project calls yet, and my attempts to reach RM/Director/Coach haven’t gotten responses.

Could someone clarify:
Typical bench duration?,
How bench policy works?,
Best way to get into a project faster?

Hey, so bench period upto 2 months is fine. If it gets extended more than that it will be a problem and you might be put into PIP. I'm not sure of what the exact timeline is though, but keep 2 months as your target. You haven't mentioned how long you've been on bench so I'm assuming it's lesser than 2 months. In case you've already crossed 2 months act asap.
Generally they will allot a project for you, but worst case scenario you feel like nothing has been happening act asap. Call and message directors from your business line and get yourself a project, just waiting to be assigned might not work too well sometimes.
You can take up firm initiatives even while you are on bench, it will be easier to get a firm initiative since it's not billable. Many people will be willing to take you in. Once you get there you'll be able to network and make connections through which you might land a project. It will also help you to show that you've been working on something while on bench.

2 weeks is not too bad. Document everything for now, the list of ADs you've spoken to. Try to get into a firm initiative while a billable project can be assigned to you. You can reach out to managers from your business line to get firm initiatives. Theres ntng more you can control as of now. Enjoy the bench period as much as you can :)
