New center brings together top AI talent to advance the science of Physical AI and build the future of autonomous operations
PLEASANTON, Calif., Aug. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Avathon, a leader in Autonomy for Operations, today announced the establishment of its AI Center of Excellence (CoE) in Bangalore, reinforcing India’s role at the center of Avathon’s global AI innovation.
The Bangalore CoE will bring together AI scientists, engineers, and technical leaders to advance the science and application of Physical AI, from how knowledge is captured to the development of frontier models for autonomous industrial systems across core markets such as energy, mining and aerospace.
Avathon is building the CoE as a destination for people who want to work at the cutting edge of AI, advancing the science and development across multiple domains and tackling problems that match the complexity of industrial operations—such as supply chains, maintenance, robotics and manufacturing. The center will connect research, engineering, and deployment, with work originating in Bangalore contributing to Avathon’s global platform and customer deployments.
“AI is entering a new era. The question is no longer whether machines can generate information, but whether they can understand the world and turn data into knowledge, reason through its complexity, and take action within it,” said Pervinder Johar, Chief Executive Officer of Avathon. “That is the frontier Avathon is pursuing. We are building the intelligence layer for the physical economy, where AI has to make sense of enormous amounts of data, navigate uncertainty and competing constraints, and continuously learn as the world changes. Bangalore will be central to that mission. We want the best AI researchers and engineers in India working on problems that matter at global scale, turning advances in AI into systems that can reason and operate in the real world. This is not simply an investment in a new center. It is an investment in India’s ability to help shape the future of AI.”
The CoE will set a high bar for technical excellence and bring together Avathon’s leading AI talent. Avathon will continue to invest in Bangalore and attract AI talent from across India as the center expands.
Avathon will also deepen its connections with universities, researchers, and technology organizations in India and around the world, creating an ecosystem that advances AI science and connects new research with real-world deployment.
“India has everything required to become a global center for AI innovation. It has deep technical talent, a world-class research community, and a culture of engineering excellence,” said Dinesh Fathpuria, Managing Director of Avathon, India. “The opportunity is to bring those strengths together around some of the most important problems in AI. That is what we are building in Bangalore.”
The AI Center of Excellence will make India a global hub for Avathon’s AI innovation, advancing the science and building the intelligence that powers autonomous operations across the industrial economy.
