Connecting universities, startups, and corporates to build the future of automotive software. CARS creates a collaborative ecosystem for research, innovation, and hands-on learning in embedded systems and ECU development.
Did you know? 80% of modern vehicles are controlled by software!
Automotive software engineers are needed now more than ever. With the rapid evolution towards Software-Defined Vehicles, ANCIT has taken a leadership role in helping the automotive software community meet their demands.
CARS (Consortium of Automotive Research Studios) is our initiative to set up Centers of Excellence in educational institutions across India and global markets. This platform connects Universities, Corporates, and Startups to collaborate on cutting-edge automotive research.
A collaborative ecosystem where universities, startups, and corporates work together to advance automotive technology
Abundant access to bright talent & infrastructure
ANCIT sets up CoE of Automotive Research in partner universities, making infrastructure available for startups and corporates.
Bright ideas but short on resources
CARS brings startups and makes university infrastructure available to them at affordable costs instead of CAPEX investments.
Scouting for resources & innovation
CARS helps corporates get ready-to-deploy engineers, saving significant effort and money in post-hire training.
