Jaquar Group’s commitment to harnessing the power of data, AI, and automation across its ecosystem reflects a bold, future-facing mindset,” said Arundhati Bhattacharya, President and CEO at Salesforce-South Asia.

As part of its transformation, Jaquar Group will implement a suite of Salesforce solutions to enhance performance across functions.

This includes Consumer Goods Cloud to enhance sales efficiency, CPQ and Partner Community Cloud to streamline pricing and strengthen partner collaboration, and Field Service to empower internal teams and contractors with improved on-ground service delivery.

“We are privileged to partner with visionary organisations like Jaquar that are not only reimagining customer engagement but also setting new benchmarks for operational excellence in the manufacturing and consumer goods sector — and are well positioned to benefit from the next wave of innovation with agentic AI,” said Bhattacharya.

Great to see Indian companies like Jaquar embracing digital transformation! 🇮🇳 In today's competitive market, such partnerships with global tech leaders will help our homegrown brands compete internationally. Hope this leads to better customer experiences too.

While AI and digital tools are important, I hope Jaquar doesn't forget their human workforce of 12,000+ employees. Digital transformation should empower employees, not replace them. The Field Service implementation sounds promising for ground teams.

Salesforce is good but expensive. Wonder if Indian SaaS alternatives were considered? We have capable tech companies like Zoho and Freshworks that could have provided similar solutions at lower cost. Atmanirbhar Bharat should apply to enterprise software too!

As someone who works in digital transformation, this is a bold move by Jaquar! 👏 The real challenge will be change management - getting all employees across 55 countries to adopt these new systems. Hope they invest equally in training along with technology.

Good initiative, but I'm concerned about data security with foreign cloud providers. Given Jaquar's size, they should ensure all customer and operational data remains protected under Indian laws. Maybe a hybrid solution with local data centers would be better?
