The board appointed me as the new chair for the term 20232024. I sincerely thank the board for entrusting me with this task. I also welcome Sunil Basarkar, Ph.D., general manager (design) at Afcons Infrastructure in Mumbai, as my new vice chair, and together we will steer DFII to greater heights. I sincerely appreciate past Chair Anirudhan I.V.'s untiring and dedicated efforts in the last two years. As usual, the immense support from DFI Executive Director Theresa Engler and her DFI office is commendable. I hope she will be the guiding light in all our endeavours at DFII. 54 * DEEP FOUNDATIONS * MAR/APR 2023http://www.dfi.org/India2023 https://intechanchoring.com/
