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.
