THE GROWTH OF MINDA iCONNECT

Close to two years, and Minda iConnect has grown to draw new clients.

Working closely with a large multinational CV OEM to employ its telematics platform and hardware, Minda iConnect is aggressively pursuing growth. It is eyeing a big chunk of the telematics market in the CV industry, which is populated by a few organised and many unorganised players. Securing AIS140 certification from ICAT in 2018, which is about the need for public transport vehicles (buses primarily) and cabs to have an Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) onboard, the company, considered as the single largest organised player in CV telematics, and buses especially, post its acquisition of KPIT VTS and ITS business, is looking at drawing new clients in its field. Incorporated in 2014, with a vision to offer end to end ‘connected car’ solutions, Minda iConnect, a Uno Minda Group company, is running telematics programs with Tata Motors, VECV, and Force Motors. Working with SML Isuzu to come out with the SML Saarthi app., the company is engaging with CV OEMs to help them comply with the AIS140 regulation.
