Indie Semiconductor announced a partnership with Mahindra & Mahindra Limited to supply its emotion3D CABIN EYE perception software for the company’s electric SUV lineup, the XEV 9e and BE 6. The software will be integrated with Mahindra’s EyeDentity camera‑based DOMS hardware platform, enabling driver and occupant monitoring—including drowsiness, responsiveness, distraction, and occupant presence/position—across the two models that have earned Bharat‑NCAP 5‑star safety ratings.
The deal marks a significant milestone for Indie, validating the commercial value of its recent acquisition of emotion3D in August 2025 and giving the company a foothold in India’s rapidly expanding electric vehicle market. By embedding CABIN EYE in vehicles that already meet the highest safety standards, Indie demonstrates that its perception algorithms can support the stringent safety expectations of a major OEM and a demanding regulatory environment.
From a business perspective, the partnership expands Indie’s geographic revenue mix and provides a new source of incremental revenue. The OTA‑enabled platform allows continuous updates, positioning Indie as a software‑defined safety provider and differentiating it from competitors that rely on hardware‑centric solutions. The collaboration also signals to other Indian OEMs that Indie’s technology is ready for mass deployment, potentially opening additional contracts in the region.
Florian Seitner, Vice President and General Manager of Perception Software at Indie, said, “This partnership with Mahindra immediately demonstrates the momentum of Indie’s recent acquisition of emotion3D, building on a shared purpose of achieving new breakthroughs in‑cab safety.” He added that the company’s mission is to deliver intelligent software that improves road safety and elevates the driving experience.
Indie’s broader financial context remains challenging, with the company not expected to be profitable in 2026 and recent quarterly results showing a non‑GAAP loss per share of $0.07 for Q3 2025. Nevertheless, the Mahindra deal provides a strategic growth lever that could help offset margin pressures and support the company’s long‑term transition to a high‑margin software‑centric model.
