Thus, there’s a growing demand to prepare manufacturing leaders to effectively navigate and lead this transformation.

Over the course of five virtual weeks, distinguished speakers from renowned organisations such as Capgemini, Nestle, Aditya Birla, Coromandel, AB Inbev, Adani Green Energy, Zydus, and others have actively contributed their insights and experiences regarding the digitalisation of processes. Their valuable contributions have focused on improving efficiency and boosting productivity through the adoption of digital technologies. Moreover, the cohort has access to a wealth of resources including case studies, research reports, videos, and blogs, all aimed at driving digitalisation within manufacturing plants effectively.
Sanjeev Gupta, Vice President & Head, Digital Manufacturing CoE, Capgemini says, “We firmly advocate for manufacturers to swiftly embrace change amidst evolving market dynamics and technological advancements, all while upholding efficiency and sustainability. Together with Nasscom CoE, we share a common objective: to equip the industry with the tools and strategies needed to adapt & thrive in digital transformation. And through SMAP, we have been able to offer a comprehensive roadmap towards this journey”.
“The Smart Manufacturing Accelerator Program represents a significant step forward in digitalising India’s manufacturing sector. Our esteemed speakers have guided the cohort through vital topics including OEE Analysis, Predictive Maintenance, Smart Supply Chain Management, Computer-vision & Camera-based Quality Inspections, and more. We are committed to advancing India’s journey towards Industry 4.0 and extending support to numerous organisations in their digitalisation endeavours,” says Sanjeev Malhotra, CEO, nasscom CoE.
