QAD | Redzone Marks 20 Years in India, Unveils Champion AI

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 17: QAD | Redzone, a global leader in intelligent manufacturing execution and adaptive cloud solutions, has marked 20 years of operations in India while unveiling the next generation of its Intelligent Manufacturing Platform, led by Champion AI, at Champions of Manufacturing India 2025.

The milestone celebrates two decades of deep collaboration with India’s manufacturing ecosystem while signalling a decisive shift toward the future of manufacturing—one that is faster, more resilient, and powered by intelligent, real-time action at the frontline.

Recognised as a cornerstone industry gathering, Champions of Manufacturing India 2025 brought together manufacturing leaders, plant operators, and technology strategists to explore how digital transformation and AI-driven execution are reshaping modern factories.

Over the years, QAD | Redzone has evolved from a traditional software provider into a System of Action—a tightly integrated combination of people, processes, and data designed to help manufacturers execute with speed, precision, and confidence. This evolution mirrors a broader industry shift, where real-time intelligence and actionable insights are becoming essential amid ongoing supply chain volatility, labour challenges, and rising cost pressures.

Two Decades of Partnership and Progress in India

Since entering the Indian market, QAD | Redzone has partnered with manufacturers across sectors, including automotive and industrial manufacturing, food and beverage, and life sciences. These collaborations have enabled enterprises to modernise legacy operations, scale globally, and respond effectively to evolving market dynamics.

Over time, India has grown from a key regional market into a strategic hub for engineering, innovation, and product development, playing a vital role in shaping QAD | Redzone’s global technology roadmap.

“Completing 20 years in India reflects the trust and long-standing partnerships we have built with Indian manufacturers,” said Sanjay Brahmawar, CEO, QAD | Redzone. “As manufacturing enters its most critical decade, our focus is clear—delivering practical, high-impact innovation that empowers people, accelerates execution, and helps manufacturers move faster with confidence.”

Unveiling the Future: Champion AI and the Intelligent Manufacturing Platform

At the event, QAD | Redzone introduced its evolved Intelligent Manufacturing Platform, built on three core pillars designed to redefine manufacturing execution:

• Adaptive ERP: A flexible digital backbone engineered for agility, scalability, and measurable business outcomes, enabling manufacturers to respond rapidly to change.

• Redzone Connected Workforce: Solutions that empower frontline teams with intuitive tools to improve productivity, engagement, and quality at the point of action.

• Champion AI: A new suite of agentic AI capabilities that amplify human decision-making, automate routine tasks, orchestrate execution, and deliver actionable insights across the manufacturing lifecycle.

Together, these innovations enable manufacturers to modernise at Champion Pace—driving fast, tangible improvements without the disruption and risk associated with traditional system replacements.

Champion AI has drawn particular attention for its human-centric design. Rather than replacing frontline workers, it augments them with predictive guidance, automated recommendations, and proactive issue resolution—embedding intelligence directly into day-to-day shop-floor decisions that affect throughput, quality, and operational resilience.

India as a Strategic Engine of Global Innovation

Speaking at the event, Rajeev Purohit, General Manager – India & Head of Engineering, QAD | Redzone, highlighted India’s growing role as a core contributor to the company’s global innovation strategy. India today serves not just as a regional market but as a central hub for engineering excellence and product development, shaping solutions deployed worldwide.

“India has been central to QAD | Redzone’s engineering excellence and innovation journey,” said Purohit. “As we launch this next generation of solutions, our teams in India will continue to play a pivotal role in building, scaling, and delivering products that power manufacturers across the globe.”

Looking Ahead

As manufacturers navigate unprecedented disruption—from supply chain instability to workforce shortages—QAD | Redzone’s action-centric, AI-powered platform positions organisations to adapt faster and operate more intelligently. By turning data into decisive action, the company aims to help manufacturers move beyond static reporting and unlock measurable productivity gains.

In celebrating 20 years in India, QAD | Redzone is not only marking a milestone but reinforcing a vision where intelligence, adaptability, and human-centric innovation converge to shape the future of manufacturing worldwide.
