What Eclat Engineering Pvt. Ltd. does

Eclat Engineering Pvt. Ltd. is an Ahmedabad, India-based privately held software company that builds cloud-hosted SaaS solutions for academic and corporate libraries to manage and provide remote access to subscribed digital resources. Its flagship product, RemoteXs, is a single-window gateway that aggregates an institution's eJournals, eBooks, and eContent behind one portal, providing automated user management, MIS reporting on usage and cost-per-article, robotic download prevention, and integrated email services — eliminating the need for institutions to maintain their own central servers, mail servers, and bandwidth infrastructure. Its secondary product, MyLOFT, is a SaaS application that extends this into the end-user experience with offline download, universal search, tagging, sharing, highlighting, and AI-curated recommendations via an integrated service called AICurate, plus a generative AI Buddy for research assistance. Eclat also offers a pre-configured Koha library management module and custom Digital Library Portals as bundled add-ons.

The company sells primarily through direct enterprise field sales targeting premier Indian academic institutions — multiple IIMs, IITs, central and state universities, and deemed universities are named customers, alongside a small set of corporate clients such as Tech Mahindra and Mahindra Research Valley. Distribution is augmented by a channel partner network including iGroup (Asia Pacific), Allied Publishers, Balani Infotech, Accucoms, and Resource Update, giving reach across India and 14 Asia Pacific countries. Revenue is generated through recurring SaaS subscriptions for RemoteXs and MyLOFT, managed services (data backup, mail server hosting), and training and support services, with pricing quoted on a per-institution basis rather than published publicly. The company is founder-led by Jatin Baraiya (CEO) and Madhukar Pai (CTO), bootstrapped with no external funding disclosed, and is signaling intent to expand into US, Brazil, and ANZ markets and to scale to 5000+ institutions.
