The Modular Building Institute (MBI) has appointed Anirban Basu, chairman and CEO of Baltimore-based Sage Policy Group, as MBI’s chief industry economist
Dr. Basu is a popular face at MBI’s annual World of Modular conferences, having given keynote addresses on the financial outlook of the modular construction industry for many years.
In addition to his continued appearances at World of Modular, Dr. Basu will now be providing regular, in-depth, and industry-relevant articles—to be published in MBI’s bi-monthly Modular Advantage magazine—as well as an annual webinar.
Helping to better educate and support members
Tom Hardiman, executive director of the Modular Building Institute commented: “We’re thrilled have Anirban join MBI as the modular construction industry’s new chief economist.
“Anirban’s insights—as well as his humor—have been a key part of our World of Modular events, and I look forward to helping better educate and support our members throughout the year.”
Creating a more efficient, capable, and resilient built environment
Dr. Basu added: “Many of the world’s challenges relate to the need to create a more efficient, capable, and resilient built environment. Accordingly, I am honored to be both MBI’s chief economist and to speak at next year’s World of Modular conference.”
Dr. Basu’s first article for MBI will appear in the upcoming September/October issue of Modular Advantage.
