He played a pivotal role in major national projects such as the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway, Zojila Tunnel, and India’s Greening Roadmap for the steel sector.

“I look forward to leading this initiative at a time when real-time digital intelligence is redefining infrastructure and governance,” said Sinha. “Our goal is to link execution with strategy to create systems that are both smart and responsive to public needs.”

Rodic Digital & Advisory integrates data science, AI, and policy expertise, with proven platforms such as Bihar’s Bhavya health project and the monitoring of over 13,000 km of road assets in the state.
