In every industry, there comes a time when the old ways begin to crack—not loudly, but through subtle signs: a process too slow, a plant too rigid, data too chaotic to act upon. While most continue to work around these cracks, a select few, armed with vision and courage, dare to imagine something different. Dr. Pratap Nair is one of those visionaries. 

Long before “digital transformation” became a buzzword, Dr. Nair foresaw the impending shifts that would reshape the landscape of the process industry. He recognized not just the rise of AI and automation, but a profound opportunity to fundamentally change how the industry thinks, operates, and evolves. This narrative transcends mere success; it embodies the intersection of timing, talent, and the belief that true impact arises when human ingenuity converges with digital intelligence.
