Recognizing the need of dialogue among the industry, professionals, technocrats, and experts in the field of automotive technology,
Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) took lead and started the journey of SIAT (Symposium on International Automotive Technology) in the year 1985 to promote such interactions. The biennial SIAT conference helps in bringing people of varied experiences and expertise together on a single platform. Serving as an important forum for the exchange of ideas and brainstorming over the years, the event has grown in stature and is now considered as a prestigious forum marked by the presence of global automotive fraternity.
