With over 50 exclusive global engineering centres supporting new program launches and more than 350 active international customers, Tech Mahindra delivers exponential value to engineering enterprises by collaborating with them across three key tenets: robust products, ubiquitous platforms, and cyber factories.

Jack Cheng, Chief Executive Officer, MIH Consortium, said “We at MIH are very pleased to have Tech Mahindra onboard with our Consortium as they bring close to 26 years of deep automotive domain expertise to the alliance. Their lead into the EV vehicle technologies would very well add immense value to the alliance and its members in furthering the vision of creating an open EV ecosystem that promotes collaboration in the mobility industry. I look forward to welcoming Tech Mahindra into the Alliance and foresee them to be a very critical player in this consortium.”

The MIH Consortium currently has over 2,460 members from 65 countries and regions. The organization is working toward creating an open EV ecosystem that promotes collaboration across the mobility industry's key OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and Electronic Stability Programs (ESPs) to standardize EV technologies to spearhead the Electric Vehicle revolution.
