Advancing Software-Defined Vehicle Validation

HCLTech's new V&V for Auto offering enters a market where modern vehicles are increasingly software-defined, creating demand for complex over-the-air updates and rigorous regulatory compliance. The solution combines HCLTech's automotive engineering expertise with NVIDIA's simulation stack to address fragmented tool chains and manual workflows. This launch follows the company's recent report of $3.26 billion in new deal bookings for Q2 FY27.

By using a simulation-first model, the platform connects requirements to compliance evidence, enabling manufacturers to identify test failures faster and maintain continuous digital records for safety-critical conditions.

Technical Integration and Industry Solutions

• Combines HCLTech's Validation Factory model with NVIDIA Omniverse and NVIDIA Cosmos
• Uses NVIDIA Nemotron open models for reasoning-powered AI agent orchestration
• Incorporates NVIDIA Isaac Sim and NVIDIA Alpamayo for virtual scenario generation
• Part of the Industry AI solutions portfolio which launched 20 purpose-built tools on Oct 8, 2026
• Reduces reliance on physical testing by simulating rare and safety-critical road scenarios
• Improves visibility into release readiness through automated intelligent orchestration

Growth Momentum and Market Position

The product launch comes as HCLTech maintains a stable financial trajectory, with TTM operating revenue reaching ₹1,38,052 crore. The company recently reaffirmed its FY27 operating margin guidance of 17.5% to 18.5%, despite a slight annual net profit dip of 4.3% in the last full fiscal year. With a durable promoter holding of 60.88% and a Piotroski Score of 7, the firm is leveraging its AI Force 2.0 platform, launched in April 2026, to expand its footprint in agentic AI.

This new automotive offering specifically targets the Mobility vertical, which contributed to the 11.0% QoQ net profit growth seen in the September 2026 quarter.

Leadership Perspectives on AI Transformation

Automotive software is evolving faster than traditional validation processes were designed to handle. Powered by NVIDIA, HCLTech’s V&V for Auto is designed to help organizations shift from periodic, labor-intensive testing to continuous, intelligent validation.

What to watch next

• Second interim dividend payout of ₹12 per share scheduled for Oct 26, 2026
• Adoption metrics for the 20 Industry AI Solutions launched in October 2026
• Progress toward the FY27 constant currency revenue growth guidance of 2.5% to 4.0%

“Validation now sets the pace for software-defined vehicles. With NVIDIA Omniverse, Cosmos and Nemotron at its core, this solution leverages world-class simulation and AI capabilities to support automakers in their journey towards moving more testing into simulation.”
