Turning data into decisions, and decisions into delivery certainty.

India’s AEC landscape is stepping into a transformational decade. Rapid urbanisation, ambitious infrastructure investments, sustainability imperatives, and rising expectations around speed, safety, and accountability are redefining how India designs and builds.

Digital transformation is no longer optional, it is now the backbone of competitiveness and the foundation of predictable, high-performance project delivery. Globally, over 72% of construction executives believe digital tools are essential to staying competitive, while rework contributes to nearly 30% of total project costs (Autodesk & FMI Research). India’s own construction sector is projected to reach USD 1.4 trillion by 2030, creating unprecedented demand for technology-enabled efficiency and collaboration.

The Construction Leadership Forum 2025, powered by Autodesk, is a high-impact leadership platform designed to bring together senior decision-makers shaping the future of India’s built environment. The forum goes beyond technology showcases to explore how AI, BIM, Digital Twins, and connected data ecosystems are enabling a new operating model for design, delivery, and asset performance across the country.

As India accelerates toward a connected, intelligence-driven built environment, the industry faces a pivotal question:
How do we design smarter, collaborate better, and deliver with greater certainty across the entire project lifecycle?

This forum brings leaders together to unpack that transition—strategically, practically, and collaboratively.

Why This Forum Matters

  • Digital project delivery is now a boardroom priority, influencing cost predictability, risk management, and project performance.
  • AI, BIM, and Digital Twins are reshaping how design decisions are made, how workflows collaborate, and how assets perform over time.
  • As project scales grow, data has become the new construction material, and the ability to connect, analyse, and act on data is emerging as the strongest differentiator.
  • The shift from fragmented systems to connected ecosystems is enabling organisations to accelerate delivery, reduce rework, improve quality, and enhance sustainability outcomes.

This forum enables leaders to explore the business case, readiness, and roadmap for this transformation.
