NASSCOM CoE has a diverse pool of deep-tech startups and tech SMEs working tirelessly to explore innovative solutions using Industry 4.0 technologies including AI, ML, IoT and so on. NASSCOM CoE has an ecosystem where manufacturing MSMEs, Technology firms (in MSME space), and Deeptech Start-ups can collaborate to find and adopt low cost and easy to deploy digital solutions.
NASSCOM Centre of Excellence (CoE) for IoT, is a Digital India initiative led jointly by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Department of Science and Technology, Government of Gujarat and NASSCOM.

India has the potential to deliver Industry not only at a rapid scale but also in a cost effective and sustainable way through frugal innovative and easy to deploy solutions. Manufacturing enterprises including MSMEs are keen to embrace this digital culture quite positively by upgrading from basic level of automation to end-to-end digitalisation.
Tackling real world challenges in manufacturing using innovation derived from emerging technologies is imperative for the enterprises today as digital solutions are helping to maximise production throughput, minimise equipment downtime, resource optimisation and building predictable and resilient supply chains.
Udyam 4.0 – Nayi DISHA can considerably help the MSME sector with automation quality inspection, low cost and easy to deploy digital solution demonstrations, condition monitoring/ predictive maintenance of high-value assets, workers health and safety AR/VR based remote assisted operations and training, smart energy management, workflow automation to improve quality and efficiency and real-time asset tracking for supply chain management, etc. This also included thousands of more perks Industry 4.0 will provide with crucial support for growth and improvement.
