Tech Mahindra and SoftTech to Digitally Transform Global Construction & Infrastructure Industry

Tech Mahindra has now partnered with the Pune-based construction and architecture software provider, SoftTech, to offer AI, Machine Learning Mixed Reality, and some other services to government bodies and companies in the infrastructure and construction sector.

SoftTech offers enterprise software tools for building design and resource planning in the construction sector.

Jagdish Mitra, Chief Strategy Officer and Head of Growth at Tech Mahindra, said, "The construction industry contributes 13% to the global GDP and is required to continuously re-invent and innovate to become more efficient and address cost burdens. The industry has taken valuable strides in digitization, and the many examples of successes have increased the demand for next-gen technologies. Tech Mahindra and SoftTech aim to build more sustainable and responsible solutions for social and environmental impacts within AEC (Architecture-Engineering-Construction) space. An innovative online inspection-approval system, ERP solution for the real estate and construction industries, an online building information model, etc., are among the strengths of our partnership".

Vijay Gupta, Founder, Chairman, and Managing Director at SoftTech, said, "We believe that the construction industry is at the cusp of undergoing a complete digital transformation, and our partnership with Tech Mahindra creates a great platform to cater to the needs of the industry. With Tech Mahindra’s industry-leading expertise in the manufacturing segment, the company has succeeded in scaling the business upwards to cross a billion-dollar run rate. We are confident that this, combined with their deep-tech capabilities in 5G and Metaverse, will provide the scalability of our products in terms of customer base and technical know-how, which will help deliver more value to international construction and infrastructure clients."

Now Tech Mahindra will add services such as AI, ML, and MR building information modeling, augmented reality, digital twins, metaverse platforms, construction wearables, and robotics and automation in the infrastructure and construction development sector.

The partnership will see the combined services being offered to SoftTech clientele, which includes government entities such as municipal bodies as well as private companies such as those that provide infrastructure and construction services.
