The Adani Group has announced a significant three-year strategic partnership with Autodesk, marking a major leap in its commitment to digital transformation and sustainable infrastructure development. The collaboration will see the Adani Group implement the Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC) platform and leverage Autodesk’s expertise to deliver Building Information Modeling (BIM) advisory services across its vast portfolio of businesses.
This agreement reinforces the Adani Group’s long-term vision of building a digitally integrated, sustainable, and future-ready infrastructure ecosystem, not only across India but also in its global operations. By adopting Autodesk’s comprehensive design and construction solutions, the Adani Group aims to integrate project data, thereby creating a unified, single source of truth across its diverse projects. This foundational digital integration is designed to facilitate seamless collaboration across various teams and disciplines, drastically improving operational efficiency and project visibility from design through construction.
Driving Efficiency and Innovation
The move toward harnessing digital platforms like the ACC is strategic, as the Adani Group seeks to improve efficiency, transparency, and predictability across its extensive infrastructure portfolio. Beyond mere deployment, the partnership is focused on driving cutting-edge innovation in critical areas such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), automation, and sustainability-focused project delivery. The integration of BIM capabilities across the entire ecosystem is central to this effort, enabling better planning, risk mitigation, and resource management.
The scope of the collaboration extends beyond core technology implementation. It encompasses extensive initiatives like process standardization, strengthening BIM capabilities across the entire Adani ecosystem, targeted partner enablement programs, and specialized leadership development workshops. Crucially, the partnership includes comprehensive upskilling programs across Adani Group organizations, ensuring that its workforce is future-ready and equipped to leverage these advanced digital tools.
