Industry Embraces High-Tech Shift As Union Industry Minister Urges Focus On AI And Innovation; Bizconnect Responds With ‘Xplor’

New Delhi/Bengaluru, April 2025: In a compelling call to action in early this month, Indian Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal urged startups and companies to focus on pioneering advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) machine learning, robotics, semiconductors, and other cutting-edge technologies. Aligning the vision of the union government, the industry has geared up to enter into global race in high-tech fields. In a recent move BizConnect, a Bengaluru-based innovator in industrial communication, responded the call of action with the introduction of its immersive tech vertical ‘XploR’ for multiple sectors of the Indian industry. The high-tech solution ‘XploR’ aims  to revolutionize how Indian industries market, sell, and train using advanced 3D, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and extended reality (XR) solutions.

BizConnect’s XploR initiative resonates with the Union Government’s push for technological leapfrogging, offering tools that enable Indian manufacturers, automotive firms, energy providers, and retailers to simplify complex product demonstrations, shorten sales cycles, cut operational costs, and boost digital engagement—challenges Goyal implicitly addressed in his critique of outdated priorities. For instance, in manufacturing and heavy engineering, XploR’s 3D animations and XR kits allow companies to showcase machinery internals and workflows without shipping bulky equipment, a practical step toward the high-tech and sustainable innovation.

Highlighting the relevance and importance of ‘XploR,’ Sanjeev De, CEO of BizConnect, said, “We are enabling Indian businesses to leapfrog into global selling standards. Success stories like WIKA’s use of ‘XploR’ to replace physical machinery at expos and Endress+Hauser’s enhanced training via 3D demos illustrate how Indian firms are already adopting these technologies, reducing costs and carbon footprints—outcomes that support the government’s dual goals of innovation and self-reliance.”

Similarly, in the automotive sector, virtual showrooms and interactive vehicle models reduce logistical burdens, aligning with the minister’s call to emulate global leaders like Germany and Japan, where such technologies are standard.

“With XploR, Indian industries can compete globally, market more effectively, and embrace digital transformation responsibly. Earlier, we carried entire units and models to expos; now, we just carry a headset or touch screens. It’s efficient and more impactful,” said a beneficiary of ‘XploR’ who represents a big automation company.

The energy and infrastructure sector benefits from simulated smart grids and equipment demos, supporting the vision of preparing India for future-ready industries, while retail applications like AR try-ons elevate customer engagement.

Moreover, XploR’s focus on cost reduction—slashing demo logistics by up to 70%—and sustainability, through less reliance on printed materials and travel, reflecting an emphasis on economic efficiency and domestic resourcefulness.

“We want Indian companies to sell with confidence, train with clarity, and communicate with creativity. With XploR, we’re giving them the tools the world is already using—customized for India’s industrial and retail sectors. It’s not just the future—it’s the present, and we’re proud to lead it,” concludes Sanjeev De.

Across leading economies like Germany, USA, Japan, and South Korea, companies have fully adopted XR. India’s time is now.
