Missed the Industry Leaders Panel at SOLIDWORKS Innovation Day 2025 – Bengaluru? The full recording is now available, packed with practical insights from leaders driving India’s engineering, startup, and green-technology ecosystem.
This focused panel discussion brought together real-world experiences from Bengaluru’s engineering community—making it essential viewing for design engineers, R&D leaders, manufacturing professionals, and innovators shaping the future of technology and sustainability.
Hosted by Mr. Nainar Ramaswamy, CEO of BEACON India, the panel featured:
- Mr. Mathew Varghese, VP of Engineering, Bray Controls India
Managing over 100,000 product variants using global PDM across 10 international sites. - Mr. Umesh, Co-Founder & Whole-Time Director, CIM Tools
A journey from a single SOLIDWORKS license in 1997 to supplying critical aerospace components for Airbus and Boeing. - Mr. Ugandhar Reddy K, Co-Founder & CTO, Hycosys Pvt. Ltd.
Developing hydrogen-powered micro turbines using simulation-driven design and ultra-tight tolerances.
Key discussion highlights:
- Scaling from startup to global supplier by integrating CAD with ERP and PDM, closing skill gaps, and achieving digital traceability with zero audit observations
- Building custom automation using SOLIDWORKS APIs—created by engineers to streamline onboarding, variant management, and multi-site collaboration
- Managing extreme engineering challenges such as 50-micron tolerances, massive configuration complexity, and long-term aerospace traceability
- The growing role of 3DEXPERIENCE and PDM in data control, workflow automation, ISO compliance, and eliminating risky local-folder practices
- Simulation-first validation to reduce iterations, and the expanding role of AI in areas like document search and design optimization—with human expertise remaining essential
- Bengaluru’s ecosystem advantage, including startup support, strong talent availability, and momentum in green energy and precision manufacturing
- Timeless advice for engineers: master fundamentals, stay creative, listen closely to customers, invest in tools like APIs and PDM, and let strong design speak for itself
These candid perspectives from Bengaluru’s innovators clearly show how SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE enable efficiency, compliance, and sustainable growth across industries.
