Vi Business, the enterprise arm of telecom operator Vi, has partnered with Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the Centre for Development of Telematics (C-DOT) to set up the Vi Business IoT Innovation Lab in Mumbai. The facility will serve as a hub for developing and testing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions for enterprises across multiple sectors.
The lab is designed to support start-ups, device manufacturers, and enterprises in creating and scaling industry-grade IoT applications. Focus areas include connected vehicles, smart manufacturing, energy optimization, and enterprise automation. Solutions developed here are expected to benefit industries such as banking and financial services, information technology, logistics, healthcare, utilities, retail, governance, and smart cities.
Demonstrations at the lab highlight use cases like real-time monitoring in factories, smart grids for efficient energy use, and applications of artificial intelligence at the network edge. The collaboration combines Vi Business’s connectivity infrastructure, AWS’s cloud services, and C-DOT’s expertise in telecom standards to help organizations reduce development costs, bring products to market faster, and ensure compliance with national standards.
Arvind Nevatia, Chief Enterprise Business Officer, Vodafone India Ltd, said “As enterprises increasingly adopt AI, 5G and IoT they require more than just connectivity – they need a trusted partner to deliver measurable business outcomes and we are ready to enable businesses to scale securely, innovate faster and transform with confidence.”
