About the workshop

Drive your data: Leveraging artificial intelligence in the auto care industry

Kumar Saha

This workshop will be led by Kumar Saha, vice president (US), managing director (Canada) at Eucon Americas. It explores how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming the auto care sector, from vehicle technology and predictive maintenance to business operations and parts management. Attendees will gain practical insights into how AI can optimize inventory, forecast demand, enhance customer engagement, and streamline workplace processes. Through case studies, interactive discussions, and hands-on examples, participants will learn actionable strategies to leverage AI in their current roles. By the end of the session, attendees will be able to identify AI opportunities within their organizations that position them for success in an AI-enabled automotive industry.
