Driving Change: Road Development in India and the Role of Technology I’m thrilled to share that I’ll be speaking at the Road Development in India Conference on November 21-22, 2024, at the Courtyard by Marriott Mumbai International Airport. This pivotal event will bring together experts passionate about the future of transportation in India and the transformative impact of road safety innovations. India’s roads are vital to its growth, yet they face challenges, especially regarding road crash fatalities, which reached a staggering 168,000 annually. Despite global declines, India has seen a 12% year-on-year increase in road accidents, as reported by the National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). This alarming statistic demands innovative solutions and integrated approaches. At the conference, I will delve into how Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) can revolutionize our roads. Technologies like Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) offer integrated solutions combining human behavior, vehicle safety, and infrastructure advancements. Key Focus Areas for Road Development Driver Behavior: Promoting a Safe Driving Score system to incentivize responsible driving with reduced insurance premiums. Vehicle Safety: Urging adoption of connected vehicles and advanced safety systems like collision prevention sensors. Policy Action: Advocating for the allocation of the 5.9 GHz spectrum to enable V2X communication. By addressing road safety through a bottom-up and top-down approach, we can build roads that are not just efficient but also safer and sustainable. Let’s collaborate to create smarter, safer roads that drive India’s sustainable growth. Join me at the Road Development in India Conference, and let’s innovate for a better future. #RoadSafety #TransportationInIndia #SmartMobility

VoW Literature Fest 2024 As an author myself, I deeply appreciate the hard work, research, and passion that go into creating literature. So, it’s great for me to join the Valley of Words (VoW) Literature Festival in Dehradun on 16th Nov at Dehradun University! This festival celebrates India’s literary and artistic spirit and is known for bringing together people to reflect, discuss and inspire. Today’s youth have the power to question, innovate and shape our future- and literature is one of the best vehicles to inspire these qualities. In a world full of quick answers, literature encourages us to consider the ”why”, and embrace different perspectives. Looking forward to being a part of this discussion!
