The partnership aims to accelerate Edge AI adoption, enabling enterprises to orchestrate intelligence at scale and shape the future of Industrial AI.

The announcement comes at a pivotal moment, as the global Edge AI market—currently estimated at $20–27 billion—is projected to reach $66–270 billion by 2030–2032, positioning it among the fastest-growing segments in enterprise technology. This rapid growth highlights  the need for enterprises to find reliable infrastructure and integration partners capable of scaling AI across thousands of distributed sites.

This partnership directly addresses that need: Barbara’s industrial Edge AI platform delivers the infrastructure that orchestrates AI at the edge, while Tech Mahindra’s global integration expertise ensures seamless enterprise adoption. Together, they empower organizations to operationalize AI at scale—bringing intelligence into day-to-day operations.
