With AI-driven automation, connected operations and data-led insights, organisations are expected to boost competitiveness and advance toward a smarter, more sustainable future.
By combining ABB India’s advanced industrial process automation solutions, such as the ABB Ability Genix Industrial Analytics and AI Suite with Deloitte India’s transformation and cybersecurity expertise, organisations can monitor processes in real time, enhance production efficiency, cyber resiliency and optimise energy use. Every deployment will be supported by strong cybersecurity measures, ensuring systems remain secure against new and emerging threats. This integrated approach will pave the way for future-ready operations that deliver profitability today while ensuring long-term growth for tomorrow.
Highlighting the shared vision behind the alliance, Kapil Agarwal, Senior Vice President and Local Division Manager, Process Industries, ABB India, noted, “At ABB India, our focus has always been on helping industries achieve operational excellence through intelligent automation and digitalisation.

Speaking on this collaboration, Deepa Seshadri, Partner, Deloitte India, said, “Enterprises today are operating in an environment where digital advantage must be matched with strong cyber resilience. True transformation does not merely focus on deploying advanced technology; it focuses on embedding trust, security and sustainability into the very fabric of operations. Our alliance with ABB India will enable organisations to use AI-driven intelligence, build secure and connected ecosystems, and achieve measurable outcomes. Whether it is driving productivity, advancing sustainability or building resilience, we are committed to helping Indian enterprises lead with confidence.”
The partnership is expected to help enterprises address key priorities, from predictive control using AI/Machine Learning (ML) and improved asset reliability to advanced Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and Manufacturing Operations Management (MOM) systems. With digital safeguards in place, businesses can reduce energy consumption, minimise waste and lower emissions as they work toward sustainability goals.
