Autodesk and Pinnacle Infotech Solutions have entered into a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to accelerate digital transformation across the Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operations (AECO) sector, with a strong focus on India and the broader APAC region.
The partnership, formalised alongside the launch of Pinnacle’s Center of Excellence for Design & Engineering in Bengaluru, aims to enable data-driven, connected project delivery across the infrastructure lifecycle—from design and construction to operations and asset management.
By merging Autodesk’s online design and engineering tools with Pinnacle Infotech’s skills in digital construction and engineering services, this partnership aims to make project coordination, workflow integration, and information management more efficient.
A key focus area will be the adoption of advanced capabilities such as digital twin and connected construction, which allow organisations to build more intelligent, sustainable, and resilient infrastructure systems. The initiative also aims to improve predictability and quality in project delivery, addressing long-standing inefficiencies in the AECO sector.
According to Bimal Patwari, CEO and co-founder of Pinnacle Infotech, the collaboration will help scale digital delivery and enable measurable outcomes by improving coordination, reducing rework, and enhancing lifecycle efficiency across projects.
Kamolika Gupta Peres, Vice President for India and SAARC at Autodesk, highlighted that India’s infrastructure sector is at a pivotal stage, with digital adoption playing a critical role in achieving the broader vision of national development. She noted that such partnerships are key to accelerating the industry’s digital journey and strengthening Autodesk’s positioning as a design and make platform for the construction ecosystem.
Beyond technology integration, the collaboration will also focus on knowledge sharing, ecosystem development, and joint industry engagement, reinforcing a shared commitment to advancing digital engineering practices globally.
The partnership reflects a broader industry shift towards platform-led, data-centric construction models, where digital tools, real-time insights, and integrated workflows are becoming essential to delivering large-scale infrastructure projects efficiently and sustainably.
