Sukhdev Singh — CEO
I am a senior technology and information systems leader with deep experience in national digital platforms, research information infrastructure, and AI-driven knowledge workflows. I served as Deputy Director General at the National Informatics Centre, Government of India, where I shaped large information systems used across ministries, research institutions, and public service organisations. Across my career, I built and managed platforms that strengthened India’s research and information ecosystem. I introduced international biomedical databases to India in the pre-Internet era, designed national-level indexing systems, and developed full-text digital collections and open-access services for scholarly communication. These initiatives supported researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and public information users across the country. As head of the Bibliographic Informatics Division at NIC, I directed teams working on metadata standards, digital repositories, research information systems, and structured information platforms. Later, at NIC Headquarters, I led Programme Management and Parliament Matters, overseeing organisation-wide project performance, policy reporting, and national-level coordination. My current work focuses on Artificial Intelligence for information-intensive environments. I study how AI reshapes discovery, literature analysis, data workflows, and content generation. I help organisations understand how to redesign their information systems for an AI-first world. I train professionals, consult on AI adoption strategies, and run active online communities that promote practical AI literacy. I bring a rare combination of strategic leadership, domain depth, and hands-on understanding of how information systems and AI must work together. Organisations looking to strengthen their digital information capabilities, modernise their research workflows, or adopt AI responsibly will find my experience directly relevant to high-level decision-making.
