In the fast-evolving automotive and mobility technology sector, the biggest challenge lies in ensuring that each simulation and validation solution is tailored precisely to the system and customer environment it serves. Local conditions, varying regulations, and differing test strategies further complicate matters, particularly in a changing market such as India.

Amidst this complexity, dSPACE India Solutions stands out as a trusted innovator, delivering solutions that empower technology and mobility pioneers to work smarter and more efficiently. With a global vision and a local presence, the company has built its foundation on three enduring pillars i.e.; innovation, people, and customer partnerships.

With its signature ‘think global, act local’ strategy, dSPACE India adapts world-class technologies to meet India’s unique mobility needs, offering solutions that range from cost-effective validation to faster development cycles.

For this company, innovation is not just about technological advancement; it is about embracing change to build a sustainable and smart mobility ecosystem.

“As a trusted innovation leader, we enable technology and mobility pioneers to make life safer, cleaner, and easier”, says Andreas Gau, CEO, dSPACE India. This philosophy continues to define its operations, guiding employees to transform research-driven ideas into practical, high-impact solutions that accelerate industrial progress.

From Global Roots to Local Excellence in Simulation and Validation

In 1988, dSPACE was established as a spin-off from the University of Paderborn, Germany, with the clear purpose of transferring academic research in Digital Signal Processing and Control Engineering into industrial applications.

Over the last 35 years, it has grown to become a world market leader in simulation and validation technology, enabling engineers and researchers across multiple industries to design, test, and validate advanced mobility systems.

In India, the company had established a presence long before the formal creation of dSPACE India Solutions in 2023. Over more than a decade, it served the market through strategic partnerships and collaborations, gradually building a robust customer base across India’s growing automotive and engineering sectors.

The decision to establish a dedicated Indian subsidiary was driven by the need for closer collaboration, localized innovation, and tailored support to address the region’s unique mobility challenges. Today, dSPACE India Solutions delivers comprehensive, end-to-end solutions covering the full development lifecycle from Modelin-the-Loop and Software-in-the-Loop to Processor, Hardware, and Vehicle-in-the-Loop systems.

Its offerings are powered by tools such as TargetLink, AutomationDesk, AURELION, SCALEXIO, SYNECT, VEOS, and MicroAutoBox, which enable seamless integration, real-time testing, and production-ready code generation. Beyond its advanced product portfolio, dSPACE India Solutions provides extensive engineering and consulting services, supporting customers from concept through homologation across automotive, e-mobility, ADAS, autonomous driving, agriculture, aerospace, energy, marine, and academic sectors.

For dSPACE India Solutions, the future of mobility is not just about automation or autonomy; it’s about responsibility, collaboration, and creating technologies that genuinely advance humanity
