“Partnering with Rockwell Automation is an important milestone and it further strengthens the company’s proposition of being a leading system integrator in industrial automation business,” he added.

Indian industrial automation market

The Indian industrial automation market for manufacturing is estimated to worth nearly $2 billion, out of which opportunity for third-party system integrators such as Wipro and others is worth nearly $400 million.
Dilip Sawhney, MD, India of Rockwell Automation, is hoping that this “solutions-oriented partnership” would help the company to penetrate deeper into the Indian market.
