Top SchoolHarsh Nisar is a data scientist and founder with 11 years of experience applying algorithms, GIS and product thinking to public infrastructure and social programs across the Government of India. He has led and built data teams and platforms—founding the Data & Insights Unit at the Ministry of Rural Development, product-led tools that saved crores in rural road spending, and NHAI’s first internal digital team for AI, GIS and traffic systems. Now co-founder of Bharat Digital and an advisor at NHAI, he blends hands-on modelling and optimization with policy design to transition large programs (e.g., satellite-based tolling and UAV-enabled monitoring) from pilot to national scale.
