      Strategic foresight, operational agility, and technology-enabled performance

      The Indian automotive industry is going through a period of rapid change. Rising costs, global uncertainties, fragile supply chains, and shifting customer expectations are making the environment more challenging than ever. Manufacturers and suppliers are under constant pressure to innovate, reduce expenses, and comply with evolving regulations, all while ensuring quality and maintaining global competitiveness.

      To succeed in this demanding landscape, industry leaders must rethink their strategies. Success will depend on having the foresight to anticipate market shifts, the agility to respond quickly, and the ability to use technology to improve performance. Building resilience and transparency across operations is equally important to withstand disruptions and maintain trust.

      The adoption of AI, electric mobility, and connected technologies is becoming central to this transformation. Companies that embrace these advancements, while strengthening compliance and operational efficiency, will be better positioned to unlock long‑term value. By doing so, they can not only overcome current challenges but also shape the future of mobility and establish India as a global leader in the automotive sector.

      While the large corporations in India may be ready for the new DPDP rules, the ecosystem of partners, vendors, suppliers, etc. may not be ready - this is one of the significant holes in the entire readiness for our country. Smaller organisations have a lower level of understanding to start with, and also sometimes implementation of DPDP rules.

      It's not the notice, it's not the consent, it's not about getting your system right, it's about getting your ecosystem right. Because larger organisations will take several months just to educate their ecosystem partners what it is, why is it important, even before they start to put the first process in.
