iMerit, a software-delivered AI data solutions leader launches an Automotive AI Center of Excellence in the vibrant city of Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu. This is a testament to the potential of the industry. According to a Nasscom report, the international market size of the automotive industry with AI is forecasted to reach a whopping $7.5 billion. The market will also grow at a rate of 21.5 percent CAGR by 2028, which will be a revolution in the industry.

The new center, iMerit’s 12th location, was inaugurated by Dr Palanivel Thiagarajan, the Minister of Information Technology and Digital Services for Tamil Nadu, in the presence of employees, guests, and senior executives from iMerit. iMerit has already hired over 220 employees in Coimbatore and has plans to double this in the next fiscal year. The company continues to invest in developing industry-leading software and solutions for AI Data to support its customers in autonomous mobility, medical AI, and technology.

iMerit is unique within the technology sector, with its leading AI data software Ango Hub driving customer traction and backed by 5000+ experts in computer vision and generative AI.

Dr. Palanivel Thiagarajan, Honorable Minister of IT and Digital Services, Government of Tamil Nadu, says, “This event signifies a critical milestone, illustrating the remarkable speed at which visionary leadership and dedicated execution can effect change. The establishment of an office within six months—from initial discussions to formal inauguration—constitutes an exceptional accomplishment. Organizations operating in sectors such as artificial Intelligence, computer vision, and data augmentation are poised to transform industries on a global scale. Moreover, these companies are fostering inclusive growth by advancing historically underserved communities, generating employment opportunities, and equipping individuals with advanced skill sets. Notably, with women comprising 52 percent of the workforce, many serving as sole breadwinners, this model embodies innovation, social equity, and empowerment—a true reflection of Tamil Nadu’s Chief Minister Thiru M.K. Stalin’s ambition & excellence."
