by Chirajeet Sengupta, Mayank Maria, Ronak Doshi

A recalibration of the automotive industry value chain is in motion, which will change how we communicate and leverage vehicles around us. Automakers, technology companies, service providers, system integrators, device & chip manufacturers, and several other players across the ecosystem are making large scale investments to get on digital mobility journey bandwagon. However, complexities around IT and OT convergence are making the path to value realization lengthy and, often, elusive. Some of the key issues hindering digital adoption pertain to lack of technology innovation, connectivity between legacy systems and modern technologies, complexity in big data analysis, and threat of security & privacy breach in autonomous driving trends.

These gaps in the ecosystem are being worked on by startups that are innovating new solutions and platforms. Digital mobility startups are getting huge investments from venture firms, automotive enterprises, and service providers, as they mushroom across the ecosystem and are leveraged by the ecosystem players to strengthen their digital offerings. Service Providers are engaging with startups by making investments, acquiring, partnering for co-innovation, and defining joint go-to-market strategy.
