The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) proudly announces the selected participants for Stage 1 of the ground-breaking “Sangam: Digital Twin with AI-Driven Insights Initiative.” Launched on February 15, 2024, the Sangam initiative aims to revolutionize infrastructure planning and design by leveraging digital twin technology to create precise, dynamic models of physical environments. This innovative approach enables real-time insights and predictive analytics, significantly enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of infrastructure projects. The initiative addresses complex challenges by integrating telecommunications, computational technologies, sensing, and imaging to create comprehensive digital replicas of physical assets.
Response to the Platform
The Expression of Interest (EoI) for the Sangam initiative has attracted a vibrant array of 112 organizations and 32 individuals, including industry giants, innovative startups, and leading academic institutions. A detailed list of the participants is available at the website. These participants bring a wealth of technological expertise spanning unified data platforms, advanced AI modeling, immersive AR/VR applications, and sophisticated scenario planning.
Extension of Submission Deadline
In response to the overwhelming interest and potential for wider participation, the DoT has extended the deadline for EoI submissions to June 25, 2024. While Stage-I activities are already in progress, potential participants are urged to submit their proposals promptly to fully engage in ongoing and upcoming initiatives.
Living List of Evolving Use Cases
The responses to the EoI have generated a dynamic and varied range of use cases that reflect the multifaceted challenges and opportunities within infrastructure planning and design. The initiative’s “living list” of use cases highlights these evolving challenges. By continuously refining these scenarios through active stakeholder engagement, Sangam ensures that each use case evolves to address real-world needs effectively. Participants are encouraged to contribute to this evolving list by sharing relevant data and insights.
Upcoming Networking Events
The DoT will soon announce networking events under the Sangam initiative, aimed at fostering knowledge sharing, partnership formation, and the exploration and articulation of use cases with a focus on feasibility, scalability, and integration of cutting-edge technologies to further the initiative’s goals.
