From human-centric automation to smart manufacturing, Harsh Vardhan is guiding Apollo Tires to an intelligent, AI-powered future.
Harsh Vardhan, Global Head of Digital Innovation, AI, Industry 4.0, and Innovation Culture at Apollo Tyres, first encountered artificial intelligence during his engineering studies at NIT. Back then, it was little more than an academic concept confined to textbooks. His interests at the time lay in coding and large mainframe systems rather than in machines that could mimic human thought.
