What ACE Software Exports does

ACE Software Exports Ltd. is a publicly listed (BSE: 531525) Indian digital publishing and technology consulting company incorporated in 1994 and active in the publisher outsourcing market since 1992. The company operates two core service lines: a publishing division covering pre-press digital typesetting, eBook formatting for reflowable/fixed-layout/enhanced outputs across Kindle, iBooks, Kobo, and Nook, editorial/copyediting, cover design, XML-based document conversion, and distribution support; and a technology consulting division delivering custom software, mobile applications, website development, IT infrastructure, workflow improvement, and project management services using C#, .NET, PHP, JavaScript, SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle stacks. Revenue is generated primarily through professional services delivered from Indian production facilities in Ahmedabad and Rajkot, targeting international publishers, SMEs, and Fortune 5000 enterprises, with named clients including Amazon Kindle, Rakuten Kobo, Apple iBooks, Barnes & Noble NOOK, and the World Bank Group.

The company has built an explicit subsidiary-led ecosystem spanning six wholly-owned operating entities: Ace Infoway (web/software IT services), QeNomy Digital (eCommerce and digital marketing for 5,000+ eStores), QeCAD Studio (architectural drafting, BIM, 3D rendering, 13,000+ projects), QeMFG (manufacturing ERP, IoT, and automation), QeDigital Gulf FZCO (AI and data engineering for the Middle East), and QeLearn (AI-powered edtech platform grobro.ai). It also operates the QeMatic sub-brand for RPA and business process improvement using UiPath, Automation Anywhere, and AI-powered intelligent automation. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise sales with custom project-based pricing on multi-year contracts, supplemented by referral-driven and exhibition-led channels across US and UK markets.

In February 2026, ACE announced a binding term sheet to invest up to GBP 5 million for a 40% strategic stake in UK-based MyUtilityGenius Limited and MyUtilityGenius Commercial Limited, with majority board representation and step-up rights to majority ownership. This represents a deliberate diversification into the regulated UK energy technology sector. The company is led by Managing Director & CEO Amit Mehta, with a long-tenured management team (Vikram Sanghani, Sanjay Dhamsania, Rahul Kalaria) that has been in place since the early 1990s, and the firm has 500+ staff across 12 offices worldwide with 10,000+ projects delivered since inception.
