Arvind Bhisikar

Executive Director, Information Technology

Arvind Bhisikar is Executive Director for Information Technology at the Indian Ports Association and presents at this conference on smart and connected ports, data integration and predictive intelligence. The association is a coordinating body among India’s major ports under the Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, and among its most notable undertakings is building a unified digital system linking ports with customs, shipping lines and logistics operators on a single platform. India is a reference case here because it applied what is known as a port community system on a national scale across distant ports running different systems, the same challenge facing any country connecting its ports through unified data.
