"Vikram Sodhi controls Mineros SA, one of Latin America's leading gold producers, through Sun Valley Investments, holding over 66 percent of the company. His operational experience informs the institution he has launched with IIT Kharagpur."
"Sodhi has been based in Colombia since 2009, where Mineros SA operates alluvial and underground gold mines. He recognized the potential of machine learning in exploration geology, particularly in drill-core imagery analysis and geochemical pattern recognition."
"The choice of IIT Kharagpur for the Centre of Excellence was influenced by its unique combination of strengths in geology, geophysics, mining engineering, and AI, as well as personal ties to Sodhi's father's educational background."
Vikram Sodhi, Vice Chairman of Mineros SA, has transitioned from operational mining to institutional design by launching the Vikram Sodhi Centre of Excellence for AI-Enabled Geological and Mining Systems at IIT Kharagpur. This center aims to enhance the mining sector's capabilities through machine learning and data-driven tools. Sodhi's extensive experience in gold mining across Latin America informs this initiative, which combines geology, geophysics, mining engineering, and AI. The center was established with a founding commitment of INR 15 crore over five years.
