Sumit Kumar — CEO
As the Head of Contracts at Jakson Infra in Noida, I am responsible for strategically guiding the full lifecycle of contract development, risk mitigation, and dispute resolution for a broad spectrum of infrastructure and energy projects. My MCIArb accreditation underpins a professional ethos centered on excellence, ethical standards, and meticulous attention to detail. Before joining Jakson Infra, I served as Deputy General Manager – Contracts at G R Infraprojects Limited, where I led pre- and post-bid contractual assignments across highways, railways, metro, hydro, tunnel, and ropeway projects. Over the course of 17+ years, I’ve honed my expertise in dispute resolution and contract management with construction giants such as Punj Lloyd, Larsen & Toubro, Soma Isolux, Essel Infra, and GR Infraprojects—covering diverse domains including Oil & Gas, Infrastructure, Real Estate, Metro, Railway, Highway, Expressway, Hydropower, and Tunnel. Recognized as a LinkedIn Top Contract Management Voice in 2024 and ranked among the top 1% of global contributors in the field, I am committed to pushing industry standards and sharing knowledge with peers and emerging professionals. Outside of my core responsibilities, I am passionate about supporting startups throughout India—especially in my home state of Bihar—helping them refine growth strategies and nurture talent. In parallel, I strive to promote and preserve Maithili culture by producing Maithili films and music videos. This initiative stems from a deep-rooted desire to offer meaningful content for future generations and foster an inclusive growth story for my community. Each role—whether leading contracts for major EPC and energy ventures, mentoring budding entrepreneurs, or championing cultural preservation—fuels my belief in harnessing collective passion and expertise to create lasting, positive impact.
