Tata Elxsi has inaugurated ‘Bayer Development Centre in Radiology’ at Tata Elxsi, Pune. The centre, designed to co-develop with Bayer, will provide a wide range of engineering for complex radiology devices, with an initial focus on molecular imaging. The facility’s integrated approach, which combines design, development and validation, will help accelerate time-to-market, enhance cost efficiency and help deliver new technology to market fast, efficiently, and at an optimised cost, while meeting the highest regulatory compliance standards.

Dr Konstanze Diefenbach, Head–Research and Development (R&D), Radiology, Bayer, commented, “Bayer is committed to innovative products and high-quality services in diagnostic imaging, and device innovation plays a critical role in delivering precision and safety in patient care. This new centre gives us direct access to specialised engineering capabilities through Tata Elxsi, enabling us to accelerate our pipeline of advanced radiology devices while maintaining the quality and reliability that healthcare providers expect from Bayer.”

This collaboration leverages Tata Elxsi’s healthcare engineering expertise and the strength of the Tata and India ecosystems—enabling access to advanced labs, regulatory partnerships and specialised technology talent. This creates a scalable foundation for innovation and strengthens Bayer’s ability to deliver radiology solutions across multiple geographies, including the US and EU.

Sreevatsa Sahasranaman, Sr Vice President and Head–Healthcare and Lifesciences, Tata Elxsi, said, “This centre is more than an engineering hub—it is where Bayer’s radiology vision meets Tata Elxsi’s design, AI/ML and regulatory expertise. Our teams will work together to translate ideas into devices that address real-world diagnostic challenges, with the assurance of safety, compliance and global scalability.”
