What KPIT Cummins does

KPIT Technologies Limited, historically branded KPIT Cummins, is a Pune-headquartered, publicly listed mobility technology company specializing in automotive engineering services for global passenger OEMs and commercial vehicle manufacturers. Following the 2019 divestiture of its IT services business to Birlasoft, the company reorganized as a pure-play mobility technology provider focused on software-defined vehicles, ADAS validation, electrification, connected car platforms, telematics integration, and automotive cybersecurity, with more than 10,000 employees across India, Europe, and Southeast Asia.

The company generates revenue primarily through professional engineering services, with Q3 FY26 revenue from operations of ₹1,617 crore (~$193 million), up 9.5% year-over-year. Its product surface includes the Eclipse CANought open-source telematics portal co-developed with Cummins, Bosch Global Software, and ETAS; the SRM Alliance shared service management platform launched with Decisiv, PACCAR, Isuzu, and Hino; Microsoft Copilot-based Mobility Copilots for fleet management and vehicle repair; ADAS and autonomous driving validation work for Mercedes-Benz's MB.OS and Level 3 roadmap; and an automotive cybersecurity line being strengthened by the announced up to $120 million acquisition of Israel-based Cymotive. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales to OEMs, co-development partnerships, and consortium-led platform plays.

KPIT has completed eleven acquisitions between 2005 and 2025, most recently a 90% stake in Zurich-based AirConsole (October 2025) for in-vehicle gaming and the announced Cymotive deal (2026) for cybersecurity. The company is expanding geographically with a new Hanoi engineering centre (June 2026) and university partnerships, while reporting $202 million of new deals in Q3 FY26. Everest Group ranked KPIT the fastest-growing provider in its Engineering Services Top 50 2024, jumping 20 places to rank 18th, and shares have appreciated approximately 700% over five years versus under 30% for the largest Indian IT services peers.
