Cognite, a global provider of Industrial AI and data solutions, has announced the expansion of its commercial operations in India as part of its strategy to support the country’s manufacturing modernization efforts and growing adoption of artificial intelligence across industrial sectors. Building on its India Center of Excellence established in 2025, the company is increasing its focus on helping manufacturers unlock greater value from operational data by connecting legacy industrial systems with advanced AI technologies. The expansion aligns with India’s broader initiatives aimed at strengthening domestic manufacturing, accelerating digital transformation, and promoting the adoption of artificial intelligence across industries.
India’s manufacturing sector is undergoing rapid technological evolution as companies seek to improve productivity, operational efficiency, and competitiveness in global markets. However, many industrial organizations continue to face challenges related to fragmented data systems and limited visibility across operations. Cognite’s industrial data platform is designed to address these challenges by creating a unified foundation for real-time decision-making and AI deployment.
The company’s approach enables manufacturers to connect information from multiple systems, providing engineers, plant operators, and management teams with actionable insights that support better operational decisions. This capability helps reduce downtime, improve asset performance, optimize production processes, and identify opportunities for efficiency improvements across industrial facilities.
As part of its expansion strategy, Cognite plans to deepen engagement with manufacturers, industry bodies, technology leaders, and government stakeholders to promote broader adoption of industrial AI technologies. The company also aims to contribute to workforce development by helping organizations build capabilities required for the next generation of digitally enabled manufacturing environments.
To showcase practical applications of industrial AI, Cognite will host an executive summit in Mumbai on June 24, bringing together leaders from sectors including energy, metals, pharmaceuticals, and industrial manufacturing. Industry executives will share real-world experiences of using data and artificial intelligence to improve operational performance and drive measurable business outcomes. The event will feature discussions on digital transformation, industrial intelligence, predictive maintenance, operational excellence, and scalable AI deployment across manufacturing operations.
By strengthening its presence in India, Cognite seeks to support manufacturers in transforming traditional industrial facilities into connected, data-driven operations capable of competing in increasingly complex global markets. The company believes that combining industrial expertise with accessible AI technologies can play a key role in enhancing productivity, sustainability, and long-term competitiveness across India’s manufacturing ecosystem.
