About

Deependra Rastogi is a leading voice in the evolution of industrial paradigms, with a core research focus on the intersection of sustainability, human–machine coexistence, and the transition from Industry 4.0 to Industry 5.0. His most-cited work, “Sustainability of Coexistence of Humans and Machines: An Evolution of Industry 5.0 from Industry 4.0” (2021, 46 citations), critically examines how the pervasive digitalization of the fourth industrial revolution—manifested in smart phones, touch screens, and smart classrooms—must be reoriented toward a more human-centric and sustainable future. Rastogi’s major contribution lies in framing Industry 5.0 not merely as a technological upgrade, but as a necessary recalibration that prioritizes societal well-being alongside efficiency. By articulating the conditions for harmonious human–machine collaboration, his research provides a foundational blueprint for policymakers and engineers navigating the ethical and practical challenges of automation. With a growing citation footprint, Rastogi’s work continues to influence discussions on responsible innovation, making him a key figure for students and researchers interested in the socio-technical dimensions of the next industrial era.
