Cognite, the global leader in Industrial AI, has announced a
commercial expansion focused on India’s manufacturing sector, directly
supporting the country’s ambitious “Make in India,” “Digital India” and
“INDIAai” initiatives. The expansion builds on Cognite’s 2025 India Centre of
Excellence investment and reinforces its commitment to India’s dynamic,
technology-forward market.
By bridging critical gaps between legacy industrial systems
and scalable artificial intelligence, Cognite aims to transform traditional
manufacturing sites in India into intelligent, data-driven ecosystems.
“India is rapidly emerging as a global hub for industrial
innovation and is playing a transformative role in accelerating the adoption of
AI,” said Guru Ananthanarayanan,
Managing Director, India, Cognite. “We see a powerful alignment between
Cognite’s strategic direction and India’s AI priorities. By solving the
fundamental data problems that typically stall digital transformations, we are
empowering India’s industrial heroes to scale intelligently and bring the ‘Make
in India’ vision to life.”
Supporting India’s vision to become a global leader in AI,
digital innovation and advanced manufacturing, Cognite’s expansion will further
empower operations and domain experts with ready-to-use industrial data and AI,
driving measurable impact across key pillars.
Under “Make in India,” Cognite will establish a unified,
contextualised AI and data foundation that enables domestic manufacturers to
optimise production workflows, increase throughput and compete globally.
The expansion will also accelerate decision-making by providing
cross-system insights that empower engineers and operators to make optimal,
more informed, real-time decisions, helping them reduce downtime and prevent value
leaks before they happen.
Cognite will also engage with key government bodies, industry
leaders and established customers to build a sustainable, technology-forward
workforce and share proven frameworks for successful industrial AI adoption.
To showcase this ecosystem in action and share best
practices for scaling industrial AI across India’s manufacturing sector,
Cognite will host an exclusive executive summit in Mumbai on 24 June 2026. The
event will bring together top industry leaders and manufacturing heads, and
will feature Sandeep Gupta, CDIO, Vedanta Oil & Gas, as a speaker to share
firsthand insights on how applied AI is driving measurable value today.
Other key sessions will include speakers from Sun Pharma,
JSW Steel and more, representing India’s diverse industrial manufacturing
sector.
