Ahuja found a significant discrepancy in academic theory and industry practice while researching for logistics and transportation companies. Ahuja noticed that the advancements in optimization and computer science weren’t benefiting the logistics and transportation industry. They continued to use basic techniques. Ahuja set out to change this and founded Innovative Scheduling, Inc. (now Optym) in 2000.

Ahuja specializes in mathematical modeling, state-of-the-art network optimization techniques and solving large-scale scheduling problems arising in logistics and transportation. He has developed models and algorithms for scheduling and logistics problems in airline, trucking and railroad industries worldwide. Many of these industry-specific problems were previously considered intractable. Ahuja’s optimization solutions are implemented by Optym’s advanced decision support systems.

Ahuja was also the author of three books: “Network Flows : Theory, Algorithms and Applications” first published 1993, “Developing Spreadsheet-Based Decision Support Systems” published 2007 and “Developing Web-Enabled Decision Support Systems”, which was published in 2007. More than 20,000 copies have been sold of the textbook Network Flows: Theory and Algorithms.
