Welcome to Ashu Kedia!

Meet Ashu Kedia — ViaStrada’s newest Transportation Engineer

Ashu’s career spans data analytics, transport impact assessments, transport modelling, road safety investigations, GIS based spatial analysis, and speed management across New Zealand. His PhD explored how online shopping influences travel demand, giving him a future focused perspective on how transport systems evolve.

He has worked closely with private developers, councils, consultants, and Waka Kotahi NZTA on projects that improve safety, efficiency, and community outcomes. Ashu is passionate about transport solutions that make everyday life better for people and communities.

When he’s not working, you will often find Ashu playing cricket, exploring hiking trails, experimenting in the kitchen, or learning musical instruments – the harmonium being his current favourite.

We are excited to welcome Ashu to the ViaStrada team and look forward to the positive impact he will make.
