India is building infrastructure at a scale that makes efficiency, safety, and resilience increasingly difficult to manage through conventional processes alone.
Artificial intelligence has been positioned as a solution to this problem for years, but a gap remains between having the technology and actually deploying it.
A model can perform well in a controlled setting and still face very different constraints when deployed across a highway project, a power distribution network, or a public-service system.
That is the gap Rodic Consultants, one of India's leading infrastructure and engineering consultancies, is looking to close with the Rodic InfraAI Innovation Challenge 2026, launched in partnership with Nasscom, Google Cloud, and Startup India.
Positioned as a first-of-its-kind national initiative, the challenge is built to accelerate AI adoption across India's infrastructure and strategic sectors.
