The Indian Bridge Management System is one of the most advanced public  infrastructure databases in the world. The IBMS creates an inventory of  all bridges in the country and rates their structural condition so that  timely repair and rehabilitation work can be carried out based on the  criticality of the structure. It is the largest platform in the world  owned by a single owner, with a database that could exceed 1,50,000  bridge structures.  The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has inventorized 1,72,517  bridges/structures under this initiative. Under the system, bridges are  given a structural rating number; based on its structure; and a  socio-economic rating number which measures its importance in relation  to it's vicinity.   With an MBA degree under his belt, Vaibhav Dange devoted his knowledge  in management to implementing processes in ensuring speedy redressal of  issues in all spheres of activity.

During this tenure, he got involved in  the IBMS project, and his deep knowledge and insight resulted in many  innovations within the IBMS.
