In a strategic alliance poised to reshape the future of urban living, CamCom and Vistas Global have announced a transformative partnership to revolutionise smart city management. By uniting CamCom’s expertise in cutting-edge AI—embodied in its AI&, the Large Vision Model (LVM)—with Vistas Global’s industry leadership, this collaboration aims to enhance safety, streamline service efficiency, and foster sustainable growth for cities worldwide.

The two companies will deliver AI-driven observability, traceability, and accountability in managing smart city assets and operations through this partnership. This initiative—supported by Vistas Global’s CommandNXT programme, a Public Private Partnership (PPP) framework—will provide actionable insights, operational controls, and improved compliance for critical urban infrastructure, starting with Indian urban centres. Through real-time data analysis, predictive modelling, and robust governance controls, the partnership sets a new standard for using advanced AI to tackle complex urban challenges and bolster overall public safety.

Replacing traditional command-and-operating facilities, these AI-driven Command Centres will showcase the potential of innovation under the PPP model, ensuring inclusive growth, efficient city planning, and the sustainable use of digital infrastructure and data. By focusing on community engagement and environmental responsibility, the alliance also aligns with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the New Urban Agenda, underscoring its commitment to people-cantered urban transformation.

Ajith Nayar, co-founder & CEO of CamCom, stated: "This strategic partnership with Vistas Global marks the beginning of a remarkable digital journey for CamCom. We are committed to delivering AI-powered solutions that revolutionise public safety, urban development, and operational effectiveness worldwide. By aligning our expertise with the New Urban Agenda and the UN SDGs, we ensure that innovation directly addresses real-world challenges—making our cities safer, smarter, and more resilient.”

Suraj Thampi, CEO of Aria Holding, which owns Vistas Global, added: "At Aria Holdings, we see technology as a catalyst for meaningful societal change. Our collaboration with CamCom, through the CommandNXT programme, goes beyond redefining public safety and city management—it sets a precedent for responsible, inclusive urban development. By harnessing AI-driven insights within a PPP framework, we empower governments and communities to shape cities that prioritise well-being, economic growth, and shared prosperity.”
