Missed the Panel Discussion at SOLIDWORKS Innovation Day 2025 – Mumbai? You can now watch the full recording and gain valuable insights from industry leaders shaping Maharashtra’s engineering and manufacturing ecosystem.
Hosted by Mr. Tanmay Kanade, Design Expert at BEACON India, the Industry Leaders Panel featured:
- Mr. Prateek Jain, DGM – Design, Crompton Greaves Consumer Electricals Ltd. (20+ years of SOLIDWORKS experience)
- Dr. Suresh R., General Manager – R&D, Everest Engineering Equipment Pvt. Ltd.
- Mr. Chintan Ghatalia, Business Program Manager, Amar Equipment Pvt. Ltd.
- Mr. Saumitra Vaidya, Founder & Director, Seven 11 Designs
Key discussion highlights included:
- The evolution of SOLIDWORKS from 3D modeling to AI-driven automation and intelligent design tools
- Real examples of cutting design cycles, including reducing a PDC drill bit design timeline from four weeks to two using integrated simulation and PDM
- Breaking silos between design and manufacturing to achieve data continuity and zero-rework workflows
- The role of the 3DEXPERIENCE platform in agility, traceability, collaboration, and data-driven decision-making
- Using simulation to validate and improve designs early—not just as a final check
- Managing Gen Z talent, avoiding “jugaad,” and balancing creativity with standardization
- Practical advice for engineers: stay collaborative, keep learning, admit when you don’t know, and focus on cross-functional impact
These practical insights clearly demonstrate how SOLIDWORKS and 3DEXPERIENCE are transforming engineering workflows in India’s manufacturing heartland.
