The recognition stems from an enterprise agreement that gave Afcons access to over 250 Bentley engineering tools, accelerating project delivery and standardising digital workflows across its infrastructure portfolio.
Bentley Systems has been recognised as Afcons Infrastructure’s Innovation Partner of the Year 2025, in recognition for its role in accelerating digital transformation across Afcons’ infrastructure portfolio. The award was presented at the InnovateXL 2025 Felicitation Ceremony in Mumbai.
The recognition follows an enterprise agreement that enabled Afcons’ teams to access over 250 Bentley engineering software tools, streamlining project delivery and standardising digital workflows. Key deployments included ProjectWise—part of Bentley Infrastructure Cloud—as a Common Data Environment (CDE) aligned with ISO 19650 standards, enhancing collaboration and data compliance across legacy and ongoing projects.
Bentley’s SYNCHRO 4D software was also piloted on the Greater Malé Connectivity Project (GMCP), a 6.7 km bridge and causeway network linking Malé with the Maldives’ outer islands. The solution provided real-time 3D progress tracking, improving decision-making, reducing rework, and boosting project visibility.
“Bentley’s pioneering solutions have significantly strengthened our collaborative efforts, setting new standards in infrastructure innovation,” said Sandeep Desai, Executive Vice President, Afcons Infrastructure. “We look forward to many more collaborative triumphs ahead.”
Afcons cited Bentley’s proactive support in onboarding, training, and troubleshooting as instrumental in achieving measurable efficiency gains and scalable digital adoption.
“We are honoured to be named Afcons’ Innovation Partner of the Year 2025,” said Kamalakannan Thiruvadi, Regional Executive, South Asia, Bentley Systems. “This recognition celebrates not only technology, but a trusted partnership that is helping redefine infrastructure delivery in India and globally.”
The award highlights Bentley’s growing role in enabling data-driven, resilient infrastructure development across South Asia and beyond.
