Tech Mahindra

Tech Mahindra has been recognized with the prestigious CIO CHOICE Award for IT Workforce Augmentation for its transformational work on Project Vihaan, Mahindra & Mahindra’s enterprise-wide digital and data modernization initiative. The award, driven by the votes and trust of India’s CIO community, underscores Tech Mahindra’s leadership in delivering AI-ready platforms, engineering excellence, and scalable workforce models for complex enterprise transformations.

Project Vihaan represents one of the most comprehensive transformation programs undertaken by a global automotive enterprise. Operating across automotive and farm businesses, Mahindra & Mahindra manages vast data volumes spanning hundreds of functions, systems, and business domains. The initiative aimed to move the organization from fragmented reporting to real-time, governed, and intelligence-led decision-making.

As a strategic partner, Tech Mahindra played a pivotal role in realizing this vision by designing and delivering an integrated decision ecosystem anchored by the Mahindra Data Platform (MDP) and the Operating Heartbeat (OH) control tower. Built on modern data mesh principles and a governance-first architecture, the platform integrates more than 25 source systems, standardizes 1,400+ KPIs (scaling toward 2,000+), and provides enterprise-wide visibility across 100+ business functions.

The engagement went far beyond augmentation of capacity. Tech Mahindra brought together domain-aligned talent, cloud and data engineers, and analytics specialists to industrialize delivery at scale. The solution enables real-time insights, sub-second KPI responses for leadership, AI/ML-driven forecasting, anomaly detection, connected-vehicle analytics, and GenAI-enabled conversational experiences — shifting the enterprise from hindsight reporting to proactive, insight-driven operations.

The impact of Project Vihaan has been tangible and measurable, including 25% reduction in reporting overhead, 30–40% cloud cost optimization, and a 30% productivity improvement, while significantly accelerating business cycles such as S&OP and dealer profitability analysis.

This CIO CHOICE recognition is a testament to Tech Mahindra’s philosophy of “AI Delivered Right” and “Scale at Speed”, reflecting the company’s ability to co-create with customers, embed governance and trust at the core, and deliver future-ready platforms that scale responsibly. It reinforces Tech Mahindra’s position as a trusted transformation partner for enterprises navigating the AI era.
