Check out the Case Study: AI‑Driven Design in Aerospace . Executive Summary Strategic Positioning : Embed domain knowledge into every AI workflow to differentiate in regulated markets. Operational Efficiency : Expect 30–35 % faster design cycles and up to 50 % reduction in post‑market defects when AI is coupled with human oversight. Hybrid Talent Model : Build teams of engineers skilled in generative tools and data scientists versed in industry standards. Financial Impact : Projected >₹250 Cr ($25 M) revenue from AI‑augmented services by end‑2025, a 108 % YoY increase over FY24. Risk Mitigation : Governance frameworks that mandate HITL validation and compliance checklists turn generative models into safe accelerators. Strategic Business Implications of Domain‑Led AI Competitive Differentiation : In automotive, aerospace, and industrial automation, clients demand both speed and certifiability. By marrying generative AI with ISO 26262 or IEC 61508 compliance, Tata positions itself as a t
