Chapter<\/strong>: India<\/p>\n

Role in the Chapter<\/strong>: Chairperson<\/p>\n

When was your first interaction or involvement with buildingSMART<\/strong>? Around 2020, when I started talking to Patrick about India Chapter.<\/p>\n

Tell us a little about your work history\/professional journey, and how it led you to buildingSMART. <\/strong><\/p>\n

I am a professional in the space of Digital Engineering and BIM. Digital interoperability, Data Longevity and Risk mitigations has always been a very important aspect of our consulting framework and that connected us to buildingSMART. Besides, I was always a fan of Patrick and his efforts Curve, hence learnt more about buildingSMART as I get to know him better.<\/p>\n

What do you like the most about the work you do within your Chapter?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Community centric thinking and the ability to organize and bring the industry together to discuss BIM challenges.<\/p>\n

What would you say are the biggest successes or milestones to date within your Chapter? <\/strong><\/p>\n

We are still in our infancy stage; however, the industry support we have received so far has been phenomenal.<\/p>\n

What does openBIM mean to you personally<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Personally, to me, openBIM is an opportunity to make our project workflows more efficient, eliminate digital risks and make our project more resilient to challenges.<\/p>\n

What overriding challenge(s) do you see the community facing today?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Lack of Clarity with reference to digital aspirations (relevant to them), OEM’s aspirations of controlling the ecosystem governance, increasing cost of technology and huge capacity gaps!<\/p>\n

What challenge(s) do you encounter within your Chapter? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Converting the chapter from Entrepreneurial Mode to a more structured, dedicated, and professionally managed structure.<\/p>\n

What do you see as the main opportunities for your market<\/strong>?<\/p>\n

Training and Policy advocacy around openBIM.<\/p>\n

With digitalization becoming more prevalent, how is your Chapter addressing the challenges and opportunities it brings?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We are doing this by bringing people (Industry) together. Recently we had organized Roundtable which had diverse perspectives on grass root level challenges and opportunities.<\/p>\n

What are your visions and\/or aspirations for the future, both for your Chapter and for buildingSMART internationally? <\/strong><\/p>\n

My vision is to see buildingSMART India and CDCPIndia, steering the BIM advocacy and policies in India besides becoming a leading Capacity Building Facilitator through buildingSMART training programs. For buildingSMART International, I would like to see the organization growing into a more powerful and stable organization with least external dependencies to undertake projects.<\/p>\n
