What Khodiyar Cad Center does

Khodiyar CAD Center India Pvt. Ltd. is a Gujarat-headquartered CAD/CAM/CAE training and engineering services provider founded on 8 December 2003. It delivers instructor-led courses across four verticals — mechanical CAD (AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Creo, Autodesk Inventor, Fusion 360, ANSYS, MasterCAM), civil CAD/BIM (Revit Architecture/Structure/MEP, STAAD.Pro, 3ds Max), animation and 3D graphics, and specialized product design (pump design, CNC machine design, gear box design, 3D printer design). The company also operates authorized software resale for Autodesk, ANSYS, MasterCAM, PTC, and SolidWorks, provides certification exams, runs a placement database of 5,000+ candidates, and delivers engineering consultancy in FEA, CFD, product design, reverse engineering, 3D printing, and AEC services.

The business operates through 8 owned training centers across Gujarat (Ahmedabad Acumen and Maninagar, Surat, Rajkot, Vadodara, Mehsana, Nadiad, V.V.Nagar), supplemented by MOU partnerships with 16+ engineering colleges, 3 Centers of Excellence (Hansaba, Tatva, Asiatic Gondal), a franchise network, and event-driven marketing such as the Autodesk Fusion 360 Hackathon for 1,800 GTU students. Revenue is generated from five streams: course fees, software license resale commissions, certification exam fees, engineering consultancy, and placement services. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding; founder Nimesh Patel is the visible contact across LinkedIn and branch communications.

The firm holds multi-vendor authorized status with Autodesk, ANSYS, MasterCAM, PTC, and SolidWorks, and has accumulated recognition including India's No. 1 Autodesk ATC (FY 16-17), PTC ATC Award 2017 (Pattaya, Thailand), SolidWorks Top Reseller Education India 2014-2015, and 100% Club Award Commercial 2015. Most recent geographic activity extends into Maharashtra (Symbiosis Pune, July 2019), though the operational base remains concentrated in Gujarat with 101-250 employees.

Broad incumbents

• Aptech Limited: Listed Indian vocational training company offering IT, multimedia, and aviation courses across a large franchise network. Broader incumbent with overlapping segments in animation/multimedia training and IT enablement, but its portfolio extends well beyond engineering CAD/CAM specialization.
• Arena Animation: Established Indian animation, VFX, and multimedia training brand under the Aptech group, operating a wide franchise network. Overlaps with Khodiyar's animation and 3D graphics vertical but does not focus on mechanical CAD/CAM/CAE.

Direct peers

• CAD DESK: An India-focused CAD/CAM/CAE training institute offering mechanical, civil, and architectural design courses across multiple centers. Directly comparable to Khodiyar in curriculum, delivery mode, and target audience (engineering students seeking certification and placement support).
• CADD Centre Training Services: India's largest CAD/CAM/CAE training chain with a national footprint of franchise centers offering courses in AutoCAD, SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, Creo, ANSYS, and more. Directly competes with Khodiyar in the same product category with similar delivery model and customer base (engineering students and working professionals).
• CADCIM Technologies: Pioneer in CAD/CAE/animation publishing and e-learning content with textbooks, video tutorials, and online courses on tools like SOLIDWORKS, CATIA, ANSYS, and 3ds Max. Comparable to Khodiyar in subject matter expertise and target learner, though delivery is content-based rather than classroom-based.

Emerging players

• IIHT (Indian Institute of Hardware Technology): Indian vocational training provider with a national franchise network delivering IT, networking, and software courses. Comparable to Khodiyar as a multi-center technical training brand, though its specialization is in IT services rather than engineering design tools.
• Jetking Infotrain Limited: Listed Indian vocational training company focused on hardware, networking, and IT skills with a national center network. Tangentially comparable as a technical/vocational training peer, though its core focus is hardware/networking rather than mechanical CAD/CAM.
• NTTF (Nettur Technical Training Foundation): Not-for-profit technical training foundation with centers across India offering diploma programs in manufacturing, mechatronics, and tool engineering. Comparable to Khodiyar in the vocational engineering training segment with a focus on industry-ready skills, though it operates on a not-for-profit model.

Others

• ARK Infosolutions: Authorized Autodesk, ANSYS, and PTC distributor in India providing software licensing, training support, and channel partner services. Comparable to Khodiyar as a software partner and reseller in the same Autodesk/ANSYS/PTC ecosystem, but operates as a software distributor rather than a training institute.

Regional players

• Seed Infotech Ltd: Indian CAD and IT training provider with a stronger presence in western India offering CAD/CAM and IT certification courses. Comparable in CAD curriculum and western Indian footprint, though smaller in scale than Khodiyar's 8-center Gujarat network.
