Digital Transformation: The Catalyst for Agile and Smarter Process R&D

India’s chemical industry is rapidly transitioning from the production of commodity chemicals to a focus on sustainable, high-performance specialty chemicals. This brings challenges like global competition, stricter regulations, and pressure for safer, greener processes. To stay competitive, R&D must become more agile and innovation-centric. Despite rising interest in AI/ML and data-driven tools, challenges like fragmented data, lack of standardization, and knowledge silos persist. As a result, digital transformation is not just a choice, but a strategic necessity in process R&D.
