Celonis expands intelligent solutions hubs to emerging markets – News

Intelligent solutions providers are finding new competitive vectors by delivering value far outside their local markets. For Celonis SE, this has meant expanding efforts to nurture innovation hubs, especially in emerging, high-potential markets such as India.

As “an epicenter of talent and opportunity,”  India’s deep technical expertise and growing enterprise ecosystem will be crucial, according to Dilip Khandelwal (pictured), chief customer officer and chairman of the India Advisory Board at Celonis. As Celonis accelerates its global expansion, India will play a pivotal role in shaping the company’s engineering, services and customer success capabilities.

“I think India is, at the moment, at the epicenter of a lot of things,” Khandelwal said. “If you want to summarize what is happening, I think first you need to understand that I think India is a very large population of 1.4 billion people. Just the pure size and the scale of the talent which is available for Celonis to tap into, and not just a number, but even the factor of a lot of students coming from the universities.”

Khandelwal spoke with theCUBE’s Rob Strechay and Savannah Peterson at Celosphere 25, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, News Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed how Celonis positions itself as a technology leader talent magnet — proving that process intelligence isn’t just about data, but about driving meaningful, sustainable transformation. (* Disclosure below.)

Partnerships underpin Celonis’ ongoing intelligent solutions strategy

Celonis views industry partnerships as channels for synergistic evolution — starting with isolated challenges, maturing into domain-wide solutions and ultimately transforming entire industries. That philosophy extends to AI adoption. As organizations transition from understanding to reinvention, Celonis serves as a guide — helping them design new processes that are more intelligent, compliant and adaptable.

“Celonis is the place for you to be, because it gives you that meaning, not just data,” Khandelwal said. “There are a lot of people who can have data information, but there are very few players who can give this contextual information and a business context and a meaning to your data for you to define a completely new way of running your business.”

Celonis helps customers quantify AI’s impact through measurable gains in efficiency, compliance and time to market. These tangible results make it easier to justify further investment in intelligent solutions, Khandelwal explained.

“In my experience, when you work with a lot of other enterprises, they’re very careful with this term,” he said. “I think because it has its own element of committing to something, we want customers to realize this value and they can show this value because it’s the most tangible thing you can actually do.”
