The next generation of mobility is being built through advances in software, AI and connected engineering and through collaboration across markets. At ELIV 2026 in Baden-Baden, Indian industry leaders brought these themes into focus. Kishor Patil spoke about the opportunity for India–Europe collaboration. Dr. Ankur Deo explored ADAS for complex driving environments, while Kamal Deep Sethi looked at autonomous driving without HD maps. Vivek Bansal, Jainendra Mishra, Hareesha Shirankallu Narayana and Aaswad Kulkarni shared perspectives on scalable SDV platforms, AI-led validation, connected vehicle systems and taking AI-defined architectures from engineering to validation. A panel discussion added a wider view of India’s changing automotive technology landscape. Across the conversations, the consensus was: India and Europe can combine their strengths to develop and scale the technologies shaping future mobility. #Nasscom #ELIV2026 #ERD #AutomotiveEngineering #SDV #IndiaEurope @Siva_Polimetla1 @KPIT @MahindraRise @vvdntech @LnTTechservices @Quest_Global @TCS @arai_india @Wipro @sasken @BoschSoftware @einfochipsltd @WellsFargo @KPITKishorPatil

The future of mobility is increasingly being shaped by how effectively global engineering ecosystems collaborate, innovate and build together. Speaking at the International VDI Congress, ELIV 2026, Kishor Patil, Vice Chairperson, Nasscom, highlighted the opportunity for India and Europe to build a technology superhighway for mobility by combining their complementary strengths. He emphasised three key priorities: - Moving beyond traditional supplier relationships towards joint innovation, co-development of intellectual property and shared technology ownership. - Combining Europe's automotive and systems engineering expertise with India's strengths in software, AI, embedded systems and engineering at scale. - Building a stronger cross-border innovation ecosystem through joint investments in emerging technologies, deeper R&D collaboration and faster development of globally competitive mobility solutions. At ELIV 2026, Nasscom is showcasing India's growing automotive engineering capabilities through the Nasscom India Pavilion, bringing together Together, capabilities spanning vehicle engineering, SDVs, compute, electronics, AI and validation, and the potential for deeper India-Europe collaboration. #ELIV2026 #Nasscom #ERD #Engineering #Mobility @KPITKishorPatil @siva_polimetla1 @KPIT

Enterprise architectures are evolving rapidly and newer, integrated tech architectures will majorly redefine job roles and skill matches. Through CY2030, enterprises are actively unbundling legacy staffing models: 24% are moving to tech-enabled hybrid workspaces, while over 30% are prioritizing flexible structures and on-demand gig expertise. Building a future-ready enterprise isn’t just about adopting new tools; it requires redesigning job roles, enabling team autonomy, and embracing flexible talent models.
