REDWOOD CITY, Calif., and SEOUL, Korea, May 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) is deploying its dedicated private cloud platform, HCloud, within Equinix data centers globally to enhance customer experience and improve service quality for its more than 10 million connected car service subscribers.

HCloud is the Group’s proprietary cloud platform that was developed in response to the growing demand for real-time data processing, seamless connectivity and scalable infrastructure, driven by rapid advancements in connected and autonomous vehicles.

The Group is leveraging Equinix International Business Exchange™ (IBX®) data centers across Asia, the United States and Europe, as well as Equinix Fabric®, to interconnect HCloud to multiple public cloud providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS). This hybrid multicloud architecture accelerates the global rollout of connected car services while ensuring reliable connectivity, consistent service coverage and reduced latency.

Hyundai Motor Group is a global enterprise that comprises the mobility brands—Hyundai Motor, Kia and Genesis. The Group’s CCS provides in-car infotainment and mobile applications via wireless networks. Since its launch in 2003, the Group has acquired over 10 million global CCS subscribers as of 2023 and is aiming to reach 20 million by 2026. To continue the growth, it is making significant investments in the development and expansion of HCloud to deliver enhanced in-car services, including a personalized driving experience.

As 95% of new vehicles are expected to be connected by 2030,1 the Group recognized the need for distributed data processing and proximity to cloud and network ecosystems to ensure an excellent user experience. This led to the deployment of the HCloud in Equinix IBX data centers in Seoul, Los Angeles and Frankfurt, strategically selected for their global reach, carrier density and high operational standards backed by service-level agreements (SLAs). Equinix’s proximity to major cloud and network providers will enable the Group to connect with key partners, while supporting robust performance and scalability.

Through its deployment at Equinix, the Group has enhanced app responsiveness and improved the quality of its remote services. The collaboration supports the company’s transition to software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and lays the foundation for smarter, safer and more connected mobility solutions.

The recognition highlights Grundfos Pumps India’s market leadership in sustainable pumps, industrial water management, and energy-efficient pumping solutions driven by digitalization and water stewardship.

SAN ANTONIO, April 28, 2026 /CNW/ — Frost & Sullivan is pleased to announce that Grundfos Pumps India Pvt. Ltd. has received the 2026 Indian Company of the Year Recognition in the Sustainable Pumps for Industrial Water category for its outstanding achievements in sustainability-led innovation, strategy execution, and measurable customer impact. This recognition underscores the company’s consistent leadership in advancing energy-efficient pumping systems, strengthening its position in India’s industrial water market, and enabling customers to manage water and energy more responsibly in an increasingly resource-constrained environment.

Frost & Sullivan evaluates companies through a rigorous benchmarking process across two core dimensions: strategy effectiveness and strategy execution. Grundfos Pumps India excelled in both dimensions, demonstrating a clear ability to align long-term strategic priorities with evolving industrial demand while executing them with discipline, scalability, and consistency. Emphasizing the perspective shared in the assessment, Fredrick Royan, Associate Partner, Sustainability at Frost & Sullivan, said, “Grundfos Pumps India is positioned to shape the next phase of industrial water pumps by combining technological ambition with verifiable sustainability outcomes, transforming water management into a strategic driver of national progress and competitive differentiation.”

Guided by a long-term growth strategy centered on sustainability, digitalization, and application-centric engagement, Grundfos Pumps India has demonstrated strategic agility in adapting global engineering expertise to local industrial realities. The company’s sustained investment in smart pumping technologies, variable-speed solutions, and data-enabled system optimization has allowed it to scale effectively across high-growth industrial sectors in India, including manufacturing, food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, mobility, semiconductors, and energy-intensive process industries.

Innovation remains integral to Grundfos Pumps India’s approach to the industrial water ecosystem. Its comprehensive portfolio of sustainable pumps, pump systems, digital controls, and smart filtration solutions addresses the full lifecycle of industrial water management, from intake and treatment to reuse and discharge. By enabling demand-based pumping, advanced monitoring, and adaptive control, these solutions help customers reduce energy consumption, lower operational costs, and improve system reliability.

“India’s industrial transformation will be defined by how intelligently we manage water. At Grundfos, we see technology not just as an enabler, but as a catalyst for a more resilient and resource‑positive future. By combining advanced pumping intelligence with data‑driven water management, we are empowering industries to move beyond incremental efficiency and embrace system‑level sustainability that safeguards both operational continuity and long‑term competitiveness,” said Shankar Rajaram, Head of Sales, IND Division at Grundfos Pumps India.

Grundfos Pumps India’s emphasis on customer experience reinforces its leadership in sustainable pumps for industrial water. The company supports customers through digital services, optimization programs, repair and lifecycle services, and transparent engagement models that allow users to validate performance before and after deployment. Its application-driven methodology, combined with localized sales and service support across India, enables long-term partnerships built on trust, reliability, and measurable outcomes rather than stand-alone product transactions.

Frost & Sullivan commends Grundfos Pumps India for setting a high benchmark in competitive strategy, execution excellence, and market responsiveness. The company’s ability to integrate smart pumping, digital platforms, renewable energy alignment, and water stewardship is shaping the future of industrial water management in India and delivering tangible economic and environmental value at scale.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents the Company of the Year Recognition to an organization that demonstrates outstanding strategy development and implementation, resulting in measurable improvements in market performance, customer value, and competitive positioning. The recognition highlights organizations that are redefining industry standards through innovation, excellence in growth, and long-term impact.
