The event, organised in association with international partners including Voestalpine, Oskar Frech Group, Magma, and Kraemer & Grebe, positioned itself as a convergence of expertise, innovation, and commitment to future-ready die casting.

Inaugurating the summit, Pankaj Abhyankar, Executive Vice President & Business Head - Godrej Tooling, set the tone with an address that resonated deeply with the audience. "The success of any event is defined by the quality of its participants. I am truly delighted to welcome the stalwarts of the diecasting industry from across India and overseas," he remarked, extending gratitude to international collaborators and participants who had flown in to share their expertise.

He emphasised that the summit was born out of feedback and dialogues with customers and industry leaders. "Their voices have highlighted the need for deeper collaboration and innovation," he said, pointing to the imperative of aligning with global standards, preparing for aerospace precision, enabling large structural castings, and achieving "First Time Right" outcomes to reduce lead times. The theme "Understanding Future Customer Needs" guided the day's discussions despite heavy rain bringing the maximum city to a standstill. As Abhyankar reminded participants, "Meeting these expectations requires a united effort. Today's summit is an opportunity to explore actionable strategies and technologies to address these challenges."
