Interesting partnership. Real-time data visibility in MRO is crucial for airline safety and efficiency. If HCLTech's solution can reduce turnaround times as promised, it will be a game-changer for HAESL's clients. Hope this tech can eventually benefit Indian aviation MROs too.

While this is a positive development, I hope HCLTech ensures robust data security and sovereignty protocols, especially since it involves critical aviation infrastructure. Global standards are good, but we must also be leaders in cybersecurity.
