According to the firm, with TMT, one will be able to study the universe like never before
Sudhir Tiwari is a big science fiction movie buff and passionate about Indian philosophy.
Rather than the epic Star Wars, Tiwari finds a lot of inspiration from science fiction action film ‘The Matrix’ and is excited about the release of ‘The Matrix-4’ this year.
As managing director (MD) of tech company ThoughtWorks India, Tiwari leads business strategy and builds high-performance teams. He also oversees investments in data and artificial intelligence (AI).
One such initiative that Tiwari is leading is Engineering for Research (E4R), where the firm collaborates with research organizations in understanding and solving problems in the fields of astronomy, biology, epidemiology, and robotics.
“There are very clear business areas where we know the industry would move,” said Tiwari. “But there are always these questions around what technology stacks would they use as a lot of these tech stocks are going to change rapidly. Research firms are key areas as they are focused on cutting-edge technologies and think a few years ahead,” he added.
One of the projects is called the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), where engineers, astronomers, and project specialists are working together to build a next-generation observatory for the astronomical community.
According to the firm, with TMT, one will be able to study the universe like never before. These include finding answers to many grand challenges of science such as origin of galaxies, birth and death of stars and turbulent regions surrounding black holes. It would also help in discovering planets orbiting distant stars and the possibility of life in alien worlds.
