KPIT bets on AI-led products and solutions for long-term growth

KPIT Technologies is sharpening its focus on domain-led and AI-powered products and solutions as global automotive manufacturers increasingly shift toward software-defined vehicles.

The company said its strategic pivot toward AI-led mobility engineering is aimed at driving long-term value capture and expanding its role in next-generation automotive transformation.

KPIT’s Mobility Intelligence Product ‘Beacon’ has already been deployed across multiple OEMs, indicating growing traction for automotive AI applications.

For FY26, the company posted revenues of $724.8 million with EBITDA margins of 20.8%. Revenue from OEMs grew 9% during the year, while growth was led by connected vehicle, after-sales, virtual engineering and propulsion segments.

During Q4FY26, KPIT posted revenues of $185 million, up 12% year-on-year.

Commenting on the performance of FY26, Kishor Patil, Co-founder, CEO and MD, KPIT said,
“The Trade and Geopolitical uncertainties impacted the mobility industry last year, hindering their investment in new platforms. The situation has improved as we begin FY27 with enough growth headroom available in automotive software as evidenced by the decent wins this quarter. AI is now core to Automotive Engineering and favors domain focused players since Automotive AI must meet safety and regulatory standards. KPIT Mobility Intelligence Product (Beacon) is in pole position, corroborated by enhanced interest from major OEMs. KPIT pivot towards domain and AI led Products & Solutions is layered on delivery to improve long term value capture for our clients, as demonstrated by recent wins. KPIT transformation is exciting and we are confident of improved performance in the years to come.”

Sachin Tikekar, President and Joint MD, KPIT said,
“OEMs are under immense pressure to swiftly introduce new products and features to maintain their competitive edge. Simultaneously, they face relentless cost constraints. Given our robust relationship with them, we’re actively deploying our products and AI-infused solutions to assist them in effectively reducing their time to market, thereby enhancing our market share. We’ve initiated engagements with several OEMs in the trucks and off-highway sectors. Our current role involves guiding them on their journey towards AI-defined machines. We’ve meticulously crafted a nuanced strategy to expand our business presence in key markets such as India, China, and Southeast Asia. We anticipate the off-highway and micromobility segments, along with the automotive industry, will be pivotal drivers of our growth.”
