300-member practice to strengthen capabilities for EVs, AI, cybersecurity, connectivity and next-gen platforms
Coforge Limited (NSE: COFORGE), a global AI-native engineering services leader from Noida, is expanding its automotive engineering footprint under the new Telecom, Media, Automotive, and Energy Solutions (TMAE) industry vertical, with a focus on connected vehicle technologies, software-defined vehicle engineering and next-generation automotive platforms.
Coforge’s automotive engineering practice now comprises approximately 300 professionals in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, India, Europe and the United States, with plans for further expansion. The expanded footprint will bring together engineering capabilities in mobility software, connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity, vehicle systems, and AI to support automotive companies as they navigate the transition toward increasingly software-defined and connected vehicles.
The shift toward a software-defined vehicle ecosystem is changing how automotive companies design, develop, validate, secure, and continuously update vehicles. As software becomes increasingly central to customer experience, engineering teams must integrate vehicle systems with an increasingly complex technology environment. Coforge is addressing this convergence with end-to-end automotive engineering offerings spanning the vehicle lifecycle, from concept and architecture through software development and integration, simulation and validation, system testing and verification, and production and deployment.
Coforge’s automotive capabilities span the vehicle technology lifecycle, bringing together vehicle engineering, connected vehicle platforms, AI-enabled engineering and cybersecurity. Its capabilities include vehicle software development, system architecture, integration, simulation and validation, OTA management, vehicle connectivity, mobile applications, edge-cloud technologies, V2X, navigation, and vehicle data platforms. Coforge also applies AI across areas such as predictive maintenance, intelligent inspection and user authentication, while exploring physical AI applications in automotive manufacturing. These capabilities are complemented by expertise in vehicle cybersecurity and authentication to help secure increasingly connected next-generation vehicle ecosystems.
The company has delivered engineering projects for OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers and ecosystem partners across areas including vehicle cybersecurity, AV user authentication, predictive maintenance, AI-driven inspection, phone-as-a-key technology, connected vehicle platform management and validation, EV fleet management, edge-cloud connectivity, V2X features, dealer integration, and navigation and route planning.
Coforge is increasingly applying AI across the automotive engineering lifecycle to improve engineering efficiency, accelerate software development and enhance vehicle intelligence. Beyond software engineering, Coforge is also applying physical AI in automotive manufacturing, including matching software functions with hardware components and automating manual processes. These applications reflect the broader convergence of software, AI, and physical systems that are reshaping automotive engineering.
“The automotive industry is moving from vehicles that are engineered primarily as products to platforms that continuously evolve through software,” said Vijay Verma, Coforge Executive Vice President of Technology, Media, Automotive, and Energy.
“This transformation is creating a new level of complexity across vehicle systems, software, connectivity, cloud, cybersecurity and the in-vehicle experience. At Coforge, we are uniting these disciplines through our automotive engineering capabilities and AI-native approach to help clients build, integrate and validate the technologies powering the next generation of connected and software-defined vehicles. As we expand our engineering footprint across key markets, we see an opportunity to play a larger role in this transformation,” Verma said on 15 Sept.
The expansion reinforces Coforge’s focus on combining hyperspecialized industry expertise with AI-native engineering to help automotive companies address the increasing convergence of software and physical systems. With capabilities spanning software-defined vehicles, connected platforms, AI, cybersecurity and vehicle engineering, Coforge is positioned to support clients across the evolving automotive technology lifecycle.
