Excerpts from the interview: Q: As a provider of cutting edge design and technology services, how does Tata Elxsi set itself apart from other players in the market? A: Electronics, software and digital technologies can transform how products and services are designed, deployed and experienced by customers.

However, this requires deep domain experience, digital capabilities, and design thinking that can bring it all together and help deliver a memorable experience for consumers.

We bring 30 years of experience in sophisticated product and software engineering. With an award-winning design team, we help customers reimagine their products and services in three key verticals - transportation, media and telecom, and healthcare.

We have invested for over 20 years along four dimensions - people, processes, products and partnerships - to help our customers deliver differentiated consumer experiences and services.

Our 'Design Digital' proposition, which brings together domain, design, and digital, coupled with differentiated delivery capability and ownership, positions us uniquely with customers for catering to their strategic transformation and customer experience priorities.

Q: How are you harnessing technology and digital advances to drive your offerings? A: We are focused on working with customers in application areas that are expected to experience sustained growth, driven by broad and long-term trends in digital technology. These trends require enablers - autonomous systems, robotics, securely-connected machines and personal devices, digitalisation and electrification of automobiles and infrastructure, advanced communications equipment and networks and connected healthcare platforms.

We invested early in Centers of Excellence (CoE) for digital technologies such as AI (artificial intelligence), robotics, AR/VR (augmented reality/virtual reality), Internet of Things (IoT) and augmented reality. Some of these investments were made 20 years earlier.

To help our clients experience and adopt digital technologies faster, we have also invested in developing products and platforms in each of our key industry verticals.

These bring together domain, digital, and design to deliver powerful use-cases - be it complete platforms such as AUTONOMAI for driverless cars, TETHER IoT for Connected Cars, TE Play for OTT, or iCX - an automation and insights solutions for Telco operations and customer care.

We have also been actively building partnerships and alliances with leading technology providers globally to reduce time-to-market and risk, and enhance value for our customers.
