Dimpu B Chindappa — Co-Founder
Public Policy enthusiast, Transportation Engineer, and Certified Road Safety Auditor with extensive experience delivering large-scale projects in oil & gas, irrigation, water supply, pavement construction, evaluation, and geosynthetics. My career has brought me together with National and State Highways, Indian Railways, PWDs, Municipal Corporations, and Irrigation departments across India; each collaboration has strengthened my belief in technical excellence and human-first solutions. As the daughter of an autorickshaw driver, I learned resilience and empathy while working alongside him in early childhood. Those formative years fuel my fire for designing safer, more inclusive cities; a passion that led me to start The Mobility Agenda Foundation, RASTEP & Drivonaut. My journey balances the rigor of project delivery with a deep commitment to social impact. Driven by purpose, I proudly wear two hats: a socialist at heart, guided by equity and compassion, and a pragmatic capitalist who understands the need for economic sustainability. The tension between these worlds isn’t always easy, but it pushes me to seek harmony in every decision, ensuring our streets, systems, and cities work for all. Let’s connect if you believe transport can transform society or simply if you value vision, tenacity, and honest partnership in infrastructure.
