ABB India and Deloitte India have formed a strategic partnership aimed at accelerating end-to-end digital transformation for manufacturing companies across the country. As industries navigate rapid technological disruption, their long-term success hinges on achieving the right balance between productivity, sustainability and resilience. To stay ahead, businesses must rethink how they drive operational efficiency—ranging from cost optimisation and improved asset performance to meeting sustainability commitments and strengthening cyber readiness.
By adopting AI-enabled automation, connected operations and data-driven decision-making, Indian enterprises can unlock new levels of efficiency, productivity and environmental performance. This shift will enhance their competitive edge and contribute to a more intelligent, sustainable and secure industrial landscape.
The partnership will enable organisations to redesign their operations by embedding digital intelligence throughout their value chains. ABB India’s advanced process automation technologies—including the ABB Ability™ Genix Industrial Analytics and AI Suite—combined with Deloitte India’s expertise in large-scale transformation and cybersecurity, will allow businesses to monitor operations in real time, increase production efficiency, bolster cyber resilience and optimise energy consumption. Each implementation will incorporate robust cybersecurity controls to safeguard systems against evolving threats. This unified approach is set to create modern, future-ready operations that deliver immediate benefits while supporting sustained growth.
Sharing the vision behind the collaboration, Kapil Agarwal, Senior Vice President and Local Division Manager, Process Industries, ABB India, said, “ABB India has consistently focused on helping industries achieve operational excellence through advanced automation and digitalisation. This partnership brings together our technological strengths with Deloitte India’s proven capabilities in transformation and cybersecurity. Together, we aim to build the digital backbone for the next chapter of India’s industrial evolution.”
Deepa Seshadri, Partner, Deloitte India, added, “Businesses today operate in a world where digital progress must go hand in hand with cyber resilience. True transformation goes beyond deploying new tools—it requires integrating trust, security and sustainability into operational systems. Through our alliance with ABB India, organisations will be able to leverage AI-driven intelligence, develop secure and connected ecosystems and achieve measurable improvements. Be it productivity, sustainability or resilience, we are committed to helping Indian enterprises move forward with assurance.”
As companies work to address a wide array of strategic priorities, this partnership will support them in elevating process performance through cyber-resilient frameworks, predictive control powered by AI and machine learning, and enhanced asset reliability enabled by next-generation maintenance practices. Operational excellence will be strengthened through advanced Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) platforms. With integrated digital safeguards, businesses will also be able to meet sustainability goals by reducing energy consumption, waste and emissions.
