Brady India brought together leading voices from diverse industries at its first-ever Safety Conclave 2026, setting a powerful tone for the future of workplace safety. The event carried a clear message that safety is no longer just a compliance checkbox, it’s becoming a strategic business priority.
Held in Bengaluru, the Safety Conclave 2026 hosted 36 safety leaders from 24 organizations spanning automotive, electronics, pharmaceuticals, oil & gas, and the public sector.
Rather than centering the event on product showcases, Brady India designed it as a dialogue-driven forum one that encouraged open discussion around real-world challenges, from the frontline adoption of safety practices to the rising influence of AI and data analytics in risk management.
Opening remarks from Brady’s regional leadership reaffirmed the company’s commitment to move beyond the conventional vendor-customer dynamic, toward co-creating solutions that better meet evolving safety needs.
The conclave also emphasized the value of building a collaborative community of safety professionals where learning and innovation flow across industries.
Industry Insights: From AI to Shopfloor Culture
From automotive, Mr. Chandramani Lal, Sr. Manager-EHS at TVS Motor Company, shared how AI and predictive analytics are helping quantify and improve safety outcomes. His insights pointed to a growing shift from reactive to predictive safety frameworks.
At Molex, Mr. Prashanth B.C., Head-EHS, stressed the importance of embedding safety into the organization’s DNA through hands-on training and behavioral reinforcement.

Beyond Compliance: Culture, Wellbeing, and Leadership
The panel discussions took safety beyond mere compliance, exploring its deeper links with culture, wellbeing, and leadership.
Experts from Reliance Jio, ABB, Kennametal, and Filtrex Technologies discussed ways to:
- Foster a culture of total employee wellbeing.
- Ensure equipment and facility safety in high-risk environments.
- Embed accountability across all levels of the organization.
The conversations reinforced a powerful idea that safety culture isn’t owned by a single department or leader. It must be co-owned and lived daily by everyone, from the shopfloor to the boardroom.
