Celebrated on the 15^th of September, Engineers' Day in India has great significance since it commemorates the birth anniversary of Sir M Visvesvaraya. As one of the country’s most revered engineers, his contribution to the engineering field has created a lasting impact, making this day not just a tribute but also a celebration of engineering excellence and its crucial role in transforming the modern world. On this occasion of Engineers’ Day, let us look at what some of the industrial leaders have to say.

Latha Chembrakalam, Head of TCI, Continental Automotive India

On the occasion of National Engineer’s Day, we celebrate the spirit of innovation, creativity, and problem-solving which drives the engineering community forward. Today, the automotive industry stands at the cusp of transformation, with upcoming trends like electrification, autonomous driving, connected mobility, etc redefining the future of mobility.

I would like to encourage young engineers to stay curious always. The future of mobility is in their hands, which will shape the next generation of technology and transportation. Together, let us drive the world forward with innovation and purpose.

Munjay Singh, COO, Tredence

As we enter the era of generative AI, engineers are no longer just working with machines—they are helping shape the future alongside them. AI is now a partner, not just a tool, allowing engineers to push boundaries and speed up innovation in ways we couldn't have imagined before.
 
AI is changing how engineers work by handling repetitive tasks and giving quick insights, letting them focus more on creative problem-solving and making smart decisions. It’s not about replacing human skills but enhancing them. Engineers are guiding AI to understand complex situations and use its strengths to create better, faster solutions.

This new way of working means engineers are taking on a bigger role in leading tech. They are not just using AI—they are driving the collaboration between humans and machines to new levels. Whether building smarter cities, improving healthcare, or transforming manufacturing, engineers are using AI to boost every part of their work.

With this power comes responsibility. Engineers must make sure AI is used ethically, ensuring fairness and transparency. They are building systems we can trust, working with both AI and society to create a future where human and machine potential work together.
 
On this Engineer’s Day, we celebrate the forward-thinking engineers who are not just adapting to change—they are leading it. Together with AI, they are taking us into a future where human creativity and machine power combine to unlock new possibilities.

Prince Joseph, Group CIO, SFO Technologies

Engineers build the world, designing it in marvelous ways where divine creativity meets scientific innovation.

Through the application of sound principles and a sincere desire for good, engineers have the power to merge design and technology, shaping a future that balances human advancement with care for the environment. Their work is the foundation of progress and sustainability.

Shalabh, Dean of Academic Affairs, at IIT Kanpur

On National Engineers' Day, we celebrate the ingenious minds who play a vital part in the development and modernization of our society. Engineers turn science into reality, transforming theoretical concepts into tangible solutions. Their dedicated efforts in translational research are moving our technology readiness levels from TRL 3 and 4 to TRL 8 and 9.

An engineer’s contribution to scientific advances enhances the welfare and progress of society around the world. It is important to recognize that engineering is a complete science that materializes scientific ideas into tangible applications that shape our world and improve our lives! It is fitting that this day is celebrated on the birth anniversary of M. Visvesvaraya, one of India’s pioneering engineers, not just in India, but also in Sri Lanka and Tanzania.
