## Hinduja Tech Makes Headlines in Mexico! 

**Hinduja Tech** an Indian company specializing an integrated product engineering and digital solutions for the automotive industry helps businesses bring their engineering and R&D functions closer to their manufacturing sites. This approach aims to cut costs and accelerate product development. 

[Hinduja Tech](https://hindujatech.com) is currently on a hiring spree, seeking 100 mechanical and electrical engineers throughout Mexico to help its customers localize engineering capabilities. 

**Mr. Vijay Malik**, the president of Marketing and International Sales was recently featured in an interview with [Mexico News Daily](https://mexiconewsdaily.com/india/why-indias-hinduja-tech-is-bringing-high-value-jobs-to-mexico)! 

After taking five years to hire its first hundred engineers in Mexico Hinduja Tech is now aiming to double that number in the current year alone. Malik expresses confidence that the company can increase both its personal and revenue in Mexico by at least 25% per year moving forward. Further, he sees huge potential growth for growth given the acceleration of EV manufacturing moving to Mexico. 

Having witnessed the power of localization and outsourcing of its customers’ engineering in India, the company now sees Mexico as “The New India” to follow that trend. Hinduja Tech’s model aims to have approximately 70% of engineering work done in Mexico and the other 30% done remotely with specialized experts from India. 

Imagine a Hinduja Tech Mexican engineer working in a Japanese, American, or European automobile plant in Mexico, collaborating with colleagues in India — a fascinating mix of globalization and regionalization! 

Mexico has already demonstrated that it has the skilled labor force to make auto parts and assemble vehicles in huge quantities.

This new opportunity is to “move up the food chain” by providing higher-level, value-added services — in this case, engineering work — to capture more high-skill jobs in Mexico.

These are higher-paid, less labor-intensive jobs — ones that require a college degree and pay middle- and upper-middle-class salaries. These are exactly the jobs that Mexico needs to develop to improve standards of living.

The country is already making strides: while just a few years ago, few women graduated from Mexico’s university-level mechanical and electrical engineering programs, Hindjua Tech’s Mexico-based engineering team is currently made up of over 10% women; and the company expects that percentage to grow. Its human resources team is made up entirely of women, and the Mexico leadership team is 100% local talent.”

Thus, Hinduja Tech stands out as a compelling example of an effective company executing this strategy, showcasing innovation and adaptability in today’s evolving business landscape.

## Aston Martin to step up Sourcing from India
If you are a component maker cherishing high ambitions of adding an exclusive brand or two to your 
portfolio of customers, here's a chance. Iconic British sports car maker Aston Martin is looking to 
source from India. Rather source more from India because it has already started with some 
components in the Vantage unveiled in April this year.

Under the leadership of Andy Palmer, who took charge as CEO a little over three-and-a-half years 
ago, Aston Martin is scouting for suppliers who can help the OEM enhance its cost efficiencies and
thereby support its next phase of the growth plan.

"It starts on the new models. It doesn't go on to the retrospect models. So, it is on all the new 
models, you will see some Indian content," Palmer told *Autocar Professional*  in an exclusive 
interview.

Palmer knows the Indian automotive industry fairly well, thanks to his earlier stint at Nissan. He 
was also instrumental in the Japanese OEM's joint venture with Hinduja Group-owned Ashok Leyland. 
Aston Martin has engaged the Hinduja Group’s engineering services arm Hinduja Tech  in certain 
engineering activities as well as to identify suppliers of competitively priced components that 
meet Aston Martin's quality specs.

"One of the things I asked when I came was (for) some parts; the quality and cost is better 
coming from India. I asked my purchasing department to be more open-minded about supply. 
Through Hinduja Tech and some other help, we have started to source parts from India and are 
also looking to do some of the engineering in India," says Palmer.

The process of sourcing from India began about two years ago and is growing progressively. More 
parts could be now engineered in and sourced from India with casting components being key.

According to an existing supplier to Aston Martin, manufacturing at the Gaydon, UK-headquartered 
carmaker is a "beautiful friend of technology and old-world artisanship". He says that the 
sourcing strategy over the years has been influenced fry the changes in ownership of Aston Martin.

**Turned around, focus now on portfolio expansion**

For 2017, Aston Martin reported a profit-before-tax figure of 87 million pounds, the first time 
after 2010, on sales of 5,117 cars, 58 percent more than in 2016. "We have turned it around. 
Now, we need to grow it," says Palmer.

With financial problems getting solved, Palmer wants to accelerate on product portfolio 
expansion to make Aston Martin a "sustainable car company". He sees seven clusters in the Iuxury 
market, and the plan is to offer at least one model to cater to customers in each of those 
clusters. "Portfolio expansion is the third phase in the plan and is basically taking us to the 
areas of the Iuxury market which we haven't been before," says Palmer. The new thrust will begin 
from 2019. Perhaps, the most crucial one will be the production version of the DBX concept, Aston 
Martin's first SUV, followed by a mid-engined model to race against the Ferrari 488. Then 
there's the revival of the Lagonda, this time as an electric super-luxury car which Aston Martin 
will pitch against the likes of Bentley and Rolls-Royce.

In all, Aston Martin plans to launch seven models in seven years, each with a life of seven years. 
That's good news for sports / luxury car aficionados. And that's the opportunity for suppliers who 
qualify. Are you ready?

Aston Martin to step up Sourcing from India

## Digital Transformation and Industry 4.0
Manufacturing requires problem solving, resources planning and optimization skills coupled with
flawless execution. Historically, decision making in Manufacturing has been constrained by lack of
real time visibility of data of the machines / processes, data lying in silos across IT tools and lack
of integration between IT and OT (Operational Technology) Systems. With the emergence of
technologies like IIoT coupled with data analytics, manufacturing leaders comprising of Operations
Managers, Quality Managers and Maintenance Managers will be able to realize better operational
efficiencies, thereby influencing financial outcomes for the organization. While the business value
of Connected Factory is clear, most of the organizations are pondering where and how to start this
journey. The best way to start the journey is to evaluate the use cases and decide which one
of them is relevant for your organization based on your current maturity & pain points. This
article outlines the key use cases that Automotive Suppliers can evaluate as part of their Smart
Manufacturing / Industry 4.0 Shop Floor Journey to meet the changing landscape of the automotive
industry. The following functional stack diagram highlights the end to end components to be
enabled by technology for realizing Connected Factory solution to cater to multiple use cases.
