RIB Software India, a subsidiary of RIB Software SE under Schneider Electric, is expanding its presence across India’s USD 1 trillion construction sector through strategic leadership and a robust suite of digital solutions that address the nation’s evolving infrastructure and project delivery needs.

The Indian construction sector, marked by rapid urbanization, fluctuating market dynamics, and increasing demands for efficiency and transparency, requires robust digital tools and agile strategies. This is backed by adoption and investment towards BIM, compliance, quality control, carbon calculations, authentic project audit reports etc. RIB Software India is positioning itself as a transformative partner to developers, contractors, and consultants navigating this challenging environment by delivering digital platforms that enhance cost predictability, project collaboration, and operational efficiency.

To foster a growth-oriented mindset across teams, enhance collaboration with Schneider Electric and enhance relationships with key clients while expanding the customer base within the India region, RIB Software has appointed Ravi Kumar as the new Regional Sales Director for India. With over 15 years of experience in construction SaaS, spanning revenue strategy, business development, and regional growth, Ravi aims to empower AEC professionals through RIB’s intelligent digital solutions that enhance project efficiency and collaboration. He is driven by a simple belief that technology can bring people together to build better, smarter and more sustainable projects. The focus on value creation, customer enablement, and ecosystem collaboration is accordingly strengthening RIB’s market presence in India, positioning it as a trusted partner in the digital transformation of construction. “Empowerment, collaboration, and continuous learning, fosters a culture where people, partners and customers work together to learn and shape the future of construction through digital innovation” says Ravi.

“Our award-winning estimation and quantity take-off solution RIB CostX, brings seamless integration with both 2D and BIM workflows while ensuring data integrity is maintained in India” mentioned Ravi as he described RIB CostX which enables estimators and surveyors to create precise, model-based cost estimates in real time. “RIB CX on the other hand offers a unified collaborative space for document control, inspections, defect management, and progress reporting, reducing rework, improving compliance, and strengthening trust across the delivery chain which is quite a boon within India’s complex subcontractor environment” he added. “Through our Indian partner Lal’s, we also deliver RIB Candy, a leading cost control and forecasting tool tailored for local contractors to manage cash flow and project performance efficiently.”

Ravi envisions close collaboration with both top-tier contractors and SMEs in India, while extending RIB’s regional footprint across Asia. He also aims to strengthen partnerships with local distributor Lal’s, which markets RIB Candy, and to align with sister company AVEVA and parent company Schneider Electric to build an integrated ecosystem of digital construction solutions within the Built environment.

Driven by transformative digital technologies and trends, RIB is committed to propelling the industry forward and making engineering and construction more efficient and sustainable. Throughout its 60+ year history, the business has expanded its global footprint to incorporate more than 550,000 users and 2,600 talents, with the vision of transforming the operation into a worldwide powerhouse and providing innovative software solutions to its core markets.
