The Dr. TMA Pai Endowment Chair at Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) is dedicated to advancing the frontiers of Intelligent Technologies, Industry 4.0, and Sustainability.

Intelligent Technologies refer to advanced digital systems such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, and smart automation that enable machines to learn, adapt, and make decisions. Industry 4.0 represents the fourth industrial revolution, characterized by the integration of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things (IoT), and data-driven manufacturing for smarter, more connected industries. Sustainability focuses on developing solutions that meet present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs, emphasizing environmental stewardship, resource efficiency, and social responsibility.

In an era defined by rapid technological transformation, applied research in these domains is crucial for shaping a smarter, more sustainable future. Students and professors at MAHE are at the forefront of this movement, collaborating on innovative projects that bridge academia and industry, foster interdisciplinary learning, and drive impactful solutions for real-world challenges. Through this initiative, MAHE empowers the next generation of researchers and leaders to make meaningful contributions to society and industry alike.
