Industrial AI, Open Automation Redefine India’s Growth Risk


AVEVA Day India 2025 showcases Industrial AI as a catalyst for sustainable growth

The Breakdown

AVEVA Day India 2025 placed a clear spotlight on the accelerating role of industrial AI and digital transformation in reshaping India’s critical sectors—energy, infrastructure, manufacturing, and utilities. Stakeholders and leaders converged to assess how emerging technologies, collaborative ecosystems, and open digital platforms are advancing India towards ambitious export and sustainability targets. As organizations navigate rapid growth and environmental demands, digitalization is emerging as both a strategic imperative and a competitive differentiator for market leaders seeking to scale responsibly while optimizing long-term resilience.

Analyst View

India’s industrial sector is entering a period of heightened transformation, with technology adoption moving beyond incremental upgrades to systemic change. The event underscored that leadership teams can no longer rely on legacy processes—industrial AI, data analytics, and open automation are quickly moving to the center of value creation and productivity. The market shows strong readiness for solutions that integrate digital intelligence into day-to-day operations, promising capabilities such as smart energy management, transparent supply chains, and workforce upskilling.

India’s ambition to become a $1 trillion export economy, with simultaneous investments in workforce and climate goals, is placing new demands on the entire value chain. Companies must anticipate shifts in channel behavior as open, interoperable software platforms become expected standards. Competition is intensifying—not just from local incumbents, but from global entities differentiating on agility, flexibility, and sustainability alignment. Notably, regulatory considerations will evolve in tandem with the adoption of AI and digital infrastructure, compelling organizations to build proactive compliance and risk strategies into their roadmaps from the outset.

Executive focus should be directed toward building a pipeline of future-ready talent and fostering ecosystems that break down organizational silos. Industry leaders recognize that the ability to convert fragmented data into holistic, actionable insights is no longer a distant aspiration, but a baseline market requirement for global competitiveness.

Navigating the Signals

B2B leaders in specialty chemicals and polymers should prepare for an environment where the pace and complexity of digital adoption outpaces traditional planning cycles. With open software ecosystems becoming integral, the ability to adapt business models and form strategic partnerships will determine whether organizations maintain relevance or risk disintermediation.

Leadership should initiate internal dialogues on how agile their operations truly are: Are data resources being leveraged across business units? Do existing sales and support channels align with the expectations of digital-first customers? How are workforce development and ecosystem collaboration being prioritized in the context of digital transformation? Addressing these questions now will enable firms to accelerate market responsiveness, hedge against emerging risks, and unlock new levers of sustainable, scalable growth as regulatory and competitive landscapes shift.
