The global automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation, with the megatrends of ACES (Autonomous, Connected, Shared and Electric) being adopted to varying degrees across different segments. In India, the scenario is no different, with the government pushing for it to be a key global manufacturing hub.

With large investments in design, development, testing and validation infrastructure in the country by the government as well as private players, the auto industry in India is coming off the edge with a fierce competitive marketplace that is further expanding the envelope of mobility. Against such a background, the prospect of future mobility assumes importance.

It assumes importance based on how efficient, safe, integrated, sustainable and comfortable the mode of travel in the future will be. How fast it will be, and the user experience it will offer, besides ensuring a definitive journey towards net-zero carbon emissions.

The way the newer and existing mobility mediums will integrate themselves to make travel pleasant. What will the role of designers and engineers be in the future? The means of mobility they will design and develop, the powertrains they will engineer and the supporting infrastructure they will devise. The role of India as a location that offers talent as well as a conducive atmosphere to design, develop, manufacture, test and validate will be important. This place of mobility ecosystem is expected to contribute even more handsomely than it is currently to the world order as climate change induces events the world over. Existing geopolitical as well as new geopolitical situations continue to influence ambitions and supply chains, manufacturing automation gets increasing support from AI, ML and AR/VR.

The second edition of the Future Mobility Conference – organised by PIN 365 – will be held under the theme, ‘Making India an Automotive Powerhouse.’ It will be a platform where leaders from different walks of the mobility ecosystem will come together to share their thoughts and observations about what the future will hold.

The one-day conference will be divided in four sessions as mentioned below and touch on as many topics that are central to the future of mobility, may it be air-based or surface-based.
