Tech Mahindra Inks MoU with IIT Bombay to Build 3D Digital Twin to Enable Smart Infrastructure

Mumbai – March 26, 2026: Tech Mahindra (NSE: TECHM), a leading global provider of technology consulting and digital solutions to enterprises across industries, announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, to develop a 3D Digital Twin of the institute’s Gymkhana building. The collaboration seeks to develop a comprehensive digital replica of the facility, showcasing how immersive digital technologies can enable smart infrastructure and drive campus innovation.

The collaboration will leverage advanced 3D modeling and rendering technologies, Digital Twin frameworks, Building Information Modeling (BIM) integration, spatial data integration, and a cloud-based visualization platform to build an immersive, web-based interface of the Gymkhana building. The solution will enable enhanced visualization of infrastructure assets while laying the foundation for future monitoring, real-time tracking, predictive maintenance, simulation, and smart campus initiatives. By enabling a virtual representation of physical infrastructure, the Digital Twin will allow stakeholders to explore new possibilities for infrastructure management, such as real-time integration of Internet of Things (IoT) devices, advanced analytics for operational optimization, and scalable smart campus development through automated decision-making and resource allocation.

Birendra Sen, President – Business Process Services, Tech Mahindra, said, “Organizations are increasingly turning to digital replicas to visualize, manage, and optimize infrastructure more effectively. By enabling real-time, data-driven insights, these solutions help campuses and public infrastructure environments overcome planning and monitoring challenges. Our collaboration with IIT Bombay combines academic research and enterprise technology to develop a scalable 3D Digital Twin of the Gymkhana building, highlighting how immersive technologies directly enable smarter infrastructure management and lay the groundwork for future smart campus innovation.”

The collaboration also demonstrates how immersive digital technologies extend beyond industrial applications and translate effectively into academic settings. As a practical deployment of Digital Twin technology on a university campus, the initiative underscores the value of digital replicas for infrastructure visualization and for building adaptable, smart infrastructure systems. Through this collaboration, Tech Mahindra seeks to enhance its leadership in the advancing Digital Twin and spatial computing landscape and create a benchmark reference model replicable across other smart campuses and public infrastructure efforts.

Prof. RAAJ Ramsankaran, Professor and GISE Hub Co-PI, IIT Bombay, said, “The MoU with Tech Mahindra marks a significant step in strengthening industry–academia collaboration. The creation of a 3D digital twin of the IIT Gymkhana building will offer our faculty and students a valuable platform to explore practical applications of digital twin technologies in areas such as infrastructure planning, visualization, and smart campus initiatives. We look forward to working closely with Tech Mahindra to advance applied research and experiential learning.”
