When it comes to the auto industry, the rest of the world is so advanced that cities like California are halting operations of self-driven level-5 cars whereas, India is still dealing with levels 2 & 3 of autonomous driving. Will India ever catch up and how will such technological adoption be different in our country? This is the note on which hosts, Leslie D’Monte and Jayanth N Kolla begin this episode with Mr. Rajesh Uppal, MEB (HR, IT, Safety & DE), Maruti Suzuki India Limited.
As they proceed toward the meat of the episode, they discuss the tech developments over 30 years in India and how the Gartner Hype Curve offers the universal truth to understand the lifecycle of every technology. They speak about the agility framework to understand the impact of tech by creating early prototypes. They also reason why it's important to encourage a culture of continuous innovation and how can it be applied to the automotive industry which takes a comparatively longer time to release reliable products. Mr. Uppal brings to the fore, with the advent of Gen AI,
- How has the focus shifted from efficiency to effectiveness or a customer-first approach?

- How can companies achieve measurable impact on this metric successfully?
- What are the challenges of automating legacy applications?
