GlobalLogic and Elektrobit deepen alliance to power next-gen software-defined vehicles
Press Release, 23 January 2026
GlobalLogic Inc. and automotive software specialist Elektrobit have expanded their long-standing collaboration to accelerate development of software-defined vehicles (SDVs), aiming to help carmakers deliver smarter, safer and more adaptable vehicle software. The two companies, which have worked together for roughly 15 years, are now broadening their partnership to focus on high-performance computing, advanced vehicle platforms and global market enablement bridging engineering, safety, and scalability to meet fast-evolving industry needs.
Under this enhanced alliance, GlobalLogic brings deep expertise in areas like high-performance computing (HPC), functional safety, and cybersecurity to complement Elektrobit’s comprehensive SDV ecosystem. This strategic move is designed to help automotive manufacturers comply with modern standards such as ASPICE 4.0 and ISO 21434 while speeding up the development cycle for production-ready vehicle software. By working closely, the companies intend to offer more efficient and cost-effective solutions that support OEMs globally in delivering complex SDV features at scale.
Executives from both firms highlighted the importance of collaboration in shaping the future of digital vehicles. According to Ramki Krishna, Group VP and General Manager of Automotive & Industrial Business at GlobalLogic, the expanded partnership strengthens their ability to advance SDV innovation, particularly in safety-critical and digital cockpit technologies. Jaganathan Rajagopalan, Chief Product Officer at Elektrobit, emphasized that strong partnerships are key to scaling flexible, software-centric vehicle development on a global level. Together, they plan to drive forward the mobility industry’s transition to more programmable, updateable and feature-rich vehicles that can evolve long after they leave the factory.
This partnership reflects growing momentum in the automotive sector toward software-defined architectures, where digital capabilities increasingly shape vehicle performance, user experience, and ongoing upgrades.
