July 2025 : Minda Corporation Limited recently announced a significant strategic collaboration with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. This partnership aims to develop cutting-edge smart and advanced cockpit solutions, specifically tailored for the burgeoning Indian automotive market.

Under this collaboration, Minda Corporation will design a next-generation cockpit platform powered by Qualcomm Technologies' highly advanced Snapdragon® Cockpit Platform. This platform, a crucial component of the Snapdragon® Digital Chassis™ Solution, is poised to redefine in-car experiences by delivering sophisticated displays, enhanced audio capabilities, powerful computing, and seamless connectivity. The integration of these technologies will result in more responsive and enjoyable driving experiences for Indian consumers.

Minda's new cockpit domain controllers, leveraging the Snapdragon Digital Chassis solutions, will be equipped to support rich multimedia experiences, intuitive AI-driven interfaces, and seamless cloud integration.
