Mumbai: Nemetschek Group, a global provider of software solutions for the architecture, engineering, construction and operations (AECO) industry, has appointed Alok Sharma as Managing Director and Vice President, India.
The leadership appointment comes at a pivotal moment for the Indian construction sector, which has emerged as the world’s third-largest construction market, backed by sustained investments in infrastructure, urban development, transport corridors and public sector modernisation. With digital adoption increasingly central to project efficiency, regulatory compliance and lifecycle management, Nemetschek Group views India as a strategic growth engine within its global portfolio.
In his new role, Alok will anchor the company’s India growth roadmap, focusing on deepening enterprise relationships, expanding government engagement and accelerating the transition toward subscription and SaaS-led digital construction models. His mandate includes scaling Building Information Modelling (BIM) adoption across infrastructure and real estate stakeholders, while strengthening the local partner ecosystem.
Alok brings over three decades of experience in building and scaling software businesses across India and the SAARC region, with a strong emphasis on the AEC industry. Over the course of his career, he has led large enterprise negotiations, driven public sector engagements and overseen the shift from perpetual licensing models to cloud-based subscription frameworks.
Commenting on the development, Pete Nicholson, Senior Vice President | Nemetschek Group, said, “India represents one of the most dynamic construction markets globally. As infrastructure investments scale and digital mandates gather pace, strengthening local leadership is central to our long-term growth strategy. Alok’s deep domain expertise and understanding of the Indian market will help us expand our presence and deliver greater value to customers.”
Alok Sharma said, “India’s built environment ecosystem is entering a decisive phase of digital transformation that aligns directly with the vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. With increased focus on efficiency, transparency and lifecycle optimisation, there is significant opportunity to scale BIM and advanced digital workflows across public and private sector projects. We see the need of technology adoption as a key lever in realising the future of infrastructure in India”
