Mobility technology solutions player KPIT Technologies on Thursday announced a strategic research collaboration with IIT Bombay to create an industry-ready research ecosystem that bridges academic excellence with real-world engineering and product development needs in the automotive and mobility space. The collaboration will focus on AI and tap into it for research and solutioning.The collaboration was formalised through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) at IIT Bombay and is aimed at aligning master’s and doctoral research programs with contemporary and future mobility problem statements, accelerating the journey from laboratory proofs of concept to deployable products, and shaping technology and policy thinking for next-generation mobility.The program will focus on converting early-stage innovations into higher-technology-readiness-level solutions through structured engagement among IIT Bombay faculty, postgraduate researchers, and KPIT’s engineering and R&D teams.
Research scholars will work on industry-defined problem statements, gaining exposure to advanced research methods, product engineering, system validation, regulatory considerations, and deployment environments. The objective is to ensure that research outputs move beyond academic publication toward real-world mobility applications.
The collaboration brings together IIT Bombay’s academic capabilities and KPIT’s engineering expertise to create a research-to-product pathway by aligning postgraduate and doctoral work with mobility challenges.The partnership aims to elevate early-stage research into validated, scalable technologies.
It offers students and faculty exposure to engineering environments, technology development cycles, and policy considerations across mobility systems, vehicle platforms, powertrains, and transportation infrastructure, according to a press statement.
By integrating academic research with industrial engineering and validation processes, the KPIT–IIT Bombay collaboration aims to contribute to India’s deep-technology ecosystem, it added.
