In an era where technological advancements are redefining industries, one company is taking a bold step towards empowering Indian firms to build fabrication plants (fabs) 🚀. The context is clear: with over 140 new greenfield GCCs launched in the past 30 months, the demand for innovative solutions is on the rise. Established companies are embedding AI across operations, and startups that can build culturally nuanced AI will have a strong global advantage. The insight here is that building an ecosystem is crucial, especially when it comes to data centres. As one expert noted, “Large data centres attract big consumers. But who will consume a small edge data centre?” This is where companies like Mitsubishi Electric India come in, leveraging their global experience to assist Indian players in building fabs. Here are the actionable takeaways: 👉 Invest in building an ecosystem for small edge data centres 👉 Leverage global experience to assist local players 👉 Focus on building culturally nuanced AI for global advantage The human link is clear: by empowering Indian firms to build fabs, we are not only driving innovation but also creating opportunities for growth and development. As Australian Sen. Deborah O’Neill aptly put it, “Deloitte has a human intelligence problem” - highlighting the need for a more nuanced approach to AI and tech. What do you think — can India become a hub for fab manufacturing, and what role will AI play in this journey? #AI #Innovation #DigitalSovereignty #MadeInIndia #FutureOfWork #TechnologicalEvolution 🔄 Share 👍 React 🌐 Visit www.aravind-r.com #AravindRaghunathan

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐈𝐨𝐓 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: 𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐚’𝐬 𝐌𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐅𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐭𝐡 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 For decades, the narrative of Indian manufacturing was defined by one powerful advantage: scale. Today, a more profound transformation is unfolding on factory floors from Pune to Chennai—one that positions India not just as the world’s workshop, but as its smartest laboratory. We are witnessing the definitive convergence of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (AIoT), and Indian manufacturers are not merely adopting it; they are leveraging it to leapfrog legacy constraints and redefine global competitiveness. For the CEO, COO, and CFO, this isn’t another tech trend—it’s the operational and strategic backbone of Industry 4.0, and it’s being built here, now. From Linear Chains to Intelligent Ecosystems: The AIoT Difference Traditional automation replaced human muscle. AIoT replaces guesswork. It is the merger of pervasive sensing (IoT) with contextual, decision-making intelligence (AI). This creates a living factory—a system that sees, understands, predicts, and optimizes itself. IoT is the Nervous System: Sensors on machines, tools, and products generate a constant stream of data on vibration, temperature, throughput, quality, and energy consumption. AI is the Brain: At the edge and in the cloud, machine learning models process this data in real-time. They don’t just report numbers; they discern patterns, predict failures, prescribe adjustments, and automate complex decisions. The Indian Advantage: Leapfrogging Legacy, Building on Agility While Western manufacturers often grapple with decades-old “brownfield” infrastructure, India’s growth presents a unique “greenfield” advantage. New facilities and expansion lines are being designed from the ground up with intelligence embedded, bypassing the costly and complex retrofit cycle. This agility, combined with world-class software talent, creates the perfect crucible for AIoT leadership. Three Pillars of the AIoT-Driven Factory in India: 1. Predictive Quality & Zero-Defect Ambition: Gone are the days of statistical sampling and post-mortem defect analysis. The Convergence: High-resolution vision systems (IoT) inspect every component in real-time. Edge AI models, trained on thousands of defect images, instantly classify micro-flaws invisible to the human eye. More profoundly, the system correlates these flaws with upstream process data—a slight temperature drift in an oven, a minimal pressure drop contd..

We just completed a comprehensive digital maturity study across India's industrial machinery and component (IM&C) manufacturers. Participants to this spanned multiple company sizes, emerging manufacturers to established players, and from leaders to managers. Some highlights from the report: ✓ 85% of IM&C manufacturers claim they have a digital strategy. But only 44% have defined goals, allocated budgets, and structured execution plans ✓ 67% cite productivity and efficiency as their top challenge, yet they end up deprioritizing digital innovation and new product development to fight daily operational fires. The study shows that companies with a structured digital strategy are significantly more confident in tracking return on investment and more resilient in navigating complexity.

30-year story of Indian System Integrators A system integrator is a company that connects disparate, specialised IT or automation subsystems (hardware and software) into a single, cohesive, and functional system. They act as architects, designing, implementing, and maintaining tailored solutions—from industrial robotics to IT infrastructure—to improve productivity and meet specific business needs. Every single Indian IT giant marketed itself as a system integrator for the last 30 years. Be it Infy, TCS, Wipro, TechMahindra, HCL and others. It is only ZoHo known to me, which was not known as System Integrator but a company that invested in products and designs Example : An Enterprise ERP connect various modules and 3rd party systems. This integration business ran successfully for 30 plus years You deploy 100s of people to do system integration, the coders write programs, sandbox testing, QC by Quality engineers, and once live, you have a maintenance and change request team And this all takes months to years, depending scale of implementation Now, this is done in days by AI. The client itself can give a prompt request as per its needs and systems talk, workflow designed and all with testing, dry run and QC Indian IT companies have now realised that the 30+ years of the Tech coolie business model is crashing down. Over the last 3 decades, they minted money on per-hour billing and did not invest in any product whatsoever. Some bought financial products and white-labelled them Now to stay in business, these IT companies have to leave nut and bolts business and move to AI driven business So today you hear that x company laid of few thousand, a few hundred people. Save it, this is just the tip of iceberg, the Tsunami is yet to come if they wish to save the company and shareholders' value The challenge is what kind of Leadership is there. AI will not replace leaders. It will expose them. Human–AI collaboration is not about tools. It is about clarity, structure, and decision discipline With my 30+ years of experience in IT industry across the globe, save it, Tsunami is coming to hit the shore very hard For the last 5+ years, i am asking companies and professionals to start the change, upskill, learn new things and explore alternate career. Some moved, and some want to see how hard the Tsunami will hit My message is now very clear Adopt AI in mission mode, or buy a lock for your fancy IT company Campus The biggest hit by AI will be IT, and not the other core industries Timeline is a maximum of 3 years And this AI era does not need typical IT company LEADERS A new generation of Leaders are required who are rooted in values The traditional IT era is OVER, look at the mirror 13 years back, when I said goodbye to the IT Industry, it was an emotional breakdown for me. How can I leave when on peak was the question? Today, when I look back, I thank Mahadev

Corporate BOards and ID- Time and Cost - ERP and AI - Challenges There comes a time when one needs to break an egg to get an omlette. The induction of AI is once such disruptive change requiring the re-vamping of the whole IT infra set up. Incremental changes or tinkering with the existing system would give get stuck along the way. The AI framework requires a powerful IT Infra with hardware, scalable cloud resources, and robust data platforms. Key components of Artificial Intelligence (AI) include Data, Algorithms, Machine Learning, Neural Networks, Natural Language Processing (NLP), Computer Vision, and Robotics. The corporate needs to provide the data and verify the algorithms and the machine learning logics for the AI to work for the corporate The following are relevant 1. The foundational element for AI systems to learn and make informed decisions, especially for machine learning models. 2. The sets of rules and instructions that AI systems use to process data and perform tasks, including machine learning algorithms for pattern recognition and prediction. 3. ML is a subset of AI enabling systems to learn from data without explicit programming, improving performance over time. 4. Computational models inspired by the human brain, forming the basis of deep learning and enabling complex pattern recognition. 5. NLP allows AI systems to understand, interpret, and generate human language. 6. Computer Vision enables AI systems to "see" and interpret visual information from images and videos. 7. Robotics integrates AI with physical machines, allowing them to interact with the real world and perform automated tasks. Corporate Role: 8. Corporations must provide relevant, high-quality data lake for training and validating AI models. Ensuring data accuracy, completeness, and ethical sourcing. 9. Corporations need to verify the algorithms used in their AI systems, ensuring they are appropriate for intended tasks, free from biases, comply with ethical guidelines. 10. Corporations are responsible for validating the logic and performance of machine learning models.  Monitoring for potential issues like drift or bias in real-world deployment. Crystal Gazing The coporates and IDs- would be heading towards buying out the building blocks of AI system—like pre-trained models, algorithms, and computing power—from the big tech giants. Use this sytem with their own proprietary data to train and customize these models for specific decision-making logic and business processes. This will mean companies having the AI talent pool to have inhouse AI capabilities without building everything from scratch. Any AI system would come with high initial costs for the software and the development and consulting to customize it. Adapting the system to meet specific business will be intricate and investments will be in millions and billions. Will AI enhance existing ERPs, or replace them completely? Could ERPs itself become the new AI? Time will be the best judge.

🚧 Why Progressive EPCs & Consultants Must Re-evaluate Their Approved Vendor Lists India’s EPC and consulting ecosystem has evolved dramatically— technology, manufacturing capability, sustainability norms, and execution speed have all changed. Yet many approved vendor lists remain frozen in time. 🔹 Long-standing approvals often create comfort monopolies 🔹 Familiarity replaces technical benchmarking 🔹 Price discovery weakens, innovation slows 🔹 Young teams inherit template thinking, not engineering judgment An “approved” status should never mean unchallenged forever. What’s at Stake? ✅ Innovation enters only when doors are open ✅ Cost competitiveness improves with periodic re-benchmarking ✅ Project risk reduces with a broader, capable vendor base ✅ Young engineers learn faster when exposed to multiple design philosophies ✅ MSMEs & Make-in-India thrive only with fair access Progressive EPCs Ask Different Questions: ●Is this vendor still the best, or just the oldest? ●Are we rewarding performance, or proximity? ●A8re we enabling our young teams—or restricting them: The Way Forward ✔️ Periodic vendor re-qualification ✔️ Open technical benchmarking ✔️ Separation of engineering approval from commercial familiarity ✔️ Vendor selection driven by value delivery, not vintage relationships ♤Experience is valuable.Relevance is essential. A dynamic vendor ecosystem builds better projects, stronger teams, and resilient organizations. #EPC #Consulting #VendorManagement #ProcurementReform #EngineeringLeadership #MakeInIndia #MSME #ProjectExcellence #EthicalProcurement #FutureReady
