What CADPOINT Engineering Solutions PVT. LTD does

CADPOINT Engineering Solutions PVT. LTD is an India-based ITeS and vocational training company founded in 1993 and headquartered in Chennai, with an admin office in Thiruvalla (Kerala) and a global office in Austin, Texas operating as an Autodesk Academic Partner. The company delivers CAD/CAM/CAE, animation & multimedia, interior design, project planning, QA/QC/NDT and accounting (Tally ERP9 with GST) training across more than 60 authorised training centres in India operated through a franchise model, supplemented by corporate training, one-on-one online training, and overseas placement support into Dubai.

Its underlying technology stack is built on industry-standard third-party tools (Autodesk AutoCAD/Revit/Inventor/3ds Max, PTC Creo, CATIA, SolidWorks, Ansys, Bentley STAAD, Oracle Primavera, Adobe Creative Suite, Microsoft Office Specialist). The company does not develop a proprietary software platform; instead it monetises curriculum content, certification delivery, instructor time, and outsourced engineering services. Paper-to-CAD conversion is performed manually at $10-$15 per hour, and HVAC/MEP drafting, architectural rendering, structural design and web/portal development are delivered as professional services.

CADPOINT's business model combines six revenue streams: (1) classroom and online training (subscription/recurring plus one-time fees) certified by Autodesk, Adobe, Microsoft, PTC, NCVT and Punjab Technical University; (2) franchise licence fees and royalty share from 60+ authorised centres; (3) licensed software resale (Autodesk, PTC Creo, Oracle Primavera, Bentley); (4) outsourced CAD/HVAC/MEP/web development services to architecture, engineering and interior design firms, including offshore paper-to-CAD; (5) authorised certification testing under MES/SDI and other vendor schemes; and (6) placement and manpower management services domestically and overseas (Dubai). Primary customers are engineering/architecture students, working professionals, ITI/ITC institutions, engineering colleges and corporate firms, with a long-tail distribution and no disclosed anchor enterprise clients.

Direct peers

• Croma Campus: Noida-based IT and engineering software training provider offering CAD, software development, and corporate courses. Competes for similar student and corporate training customers in North India where CADPOINT has lighter presence.
• IIHT (Indian Institute of Hardware Technology): Indian IT and engineering training franchise with corporate and individual programs across hardware, networking, and software. Comparable franchise-based delivery and corporate training overlap with CADPOINT.
• CADD Centre: India's largest CAD/CAM/CAE training franchise network offering similar Autodesk/PTC-certified courses across hundreds of centers. Direct competitor to CADPOINT on curriculum, certification partnerships, and franchise-based delivery model.
• Jetking Infotrain: India-focused technical training franchise specializing in hardware, networking, and IT certifications. Comparable to CADPOINT's authorized test centre business (Microsoft, HP, CompTIA) and franchise footprint model.
• SSDN Technologies: India-based training and certification company offering CAD, IT, and corporate programs with similar authorized test centre positioning. Direct competitor in the corporate CAD training segment.
• Arena Animation: Pan-India franchise-based animation, VFX, multimedia, and web design training network. Closely comparable to CADPOINT's animation/multimedia training vertical and shares the franchise-driven go-to-market motion.
• MAAC (Maya Academy of Advanced Cinematics): Major Indian franchise network offering animation, VFX, multimedia, and gaming training. Directly comparable to CADPOINT's animation/multimedia and interior design course lines and franchise delivery model.

Emerging players

• Udemy / Coursera (Authorized Autodesk partners): Global online learning platforms that now host vendor-authorized CAD/BIM curricula at very low price points. Represents the digital substitute threat to CADPOINT's classroom-based, tier 2/3 city training model rather than a direct franchise competitor.

Broad incumbents

• NIIT Limited: Historic Indian IT and professional skills training company with both corporate and individual learner programs. Overlaps with CADPOINT's corporate training and IT certification testing business, but at far larger scale.
• Aptech Limited: Long-established Indian IT and vocational training listed company with a much broader portfolio (IT, aviation, hospitality, English). Competes with CADPOINT in the career-training segment but at significantly larger scale and brand recognition.
