In a September 2024 podcast, Hiran Bhadra, Senior Vice President of Strategy & Technology at Belden, discussed the company's transition from a product-based to a solution- and platform-oriented organization. He stated that Belden is positioning itself as a "network and data infrastructure company" that will partner for sensing and cloud operations. Bhadra described the company's strategy as involving the orchestration of products, software, and services, and he cited Litmus as playing a role in harmonizing data from diverse industrial protocols. Bhadra argued that the initial assumption that manufacturing processes could be easily replicated in the cloud was incorrect, and that networks have become the most critical infrastructure for digital transformation. He stated that cloud computing became unsustainable due to cost, and that networks are now needed to provide "clean, secure and harmonized data." Bhadra also expressed that the potential for value creation at Belden is "astronomic" and that the company's contribution to global GDP could multiply in the coming years.
