As India accelerates investments across manufacturing, data centres and digital infrastructure, the role of infrastructure providers is changing. The opportunity is no longer simply about supplying equipment; it is about helping enterprises design, build and optimise the physical and electrical foundations of an increasingly intelligent, connected economy. For Rittal India, this shift comes at an important inflection point.
In this conversation with Express Computer, Mathew Jacob, CEO and Member of the India Management Board at Rittal India, unpacks how the company plans to strengthen its position across manufacturing, data centres, co-location and hyperscale infrastructure, with an ambition to become one of India’s top three digital infrastructure suppliers. He discusses why customer co-creation, localisation and sustainability are becoming central to Rittal’s strategy, how digital twins and industrial software are transforming engineering and manufacturing, and why India’s industrial and digital expansion presents an opportunity for Rittal to evolve from an infrastructure supplier into a strategic partner for its customers.
