What SSIG Manufacturing Advancements Pvt. Ltd. does

SSIG Manufacturing Advancements Pvt. Ltd. (DBA: SSIGMA) is a Pune-headquartered industrial automation training and skill development company founded in 2016 by Sudarshan Lathkar. The firm delivers a structured curriculum of five fee-based courses (SSIG 1.1 through SSIG 1.5, ranging from 45 to 90 hours) covering Industry 4.0 foundations, PLC & Sensors, SCADA & IIoT, Industrial Robotics, and CAD/3D Printing, delivered at its Pune facility or on client premises. Beyond coursework, SSIGMA offers a proprietary Technical Skill Gap Analysis service, turnkey lab development and consultancy, and industrial project execution including proof-of-concept automation and Industry 4.0 readiness assessments. Its in-house labs house industrial equipment from partners such as ABB (IRB 1520 ID robots, GoFa CRB 15000 collaborative robots), alongside PLCs, SCADA/IIoT setups, 3D printers, drones, and EV/ADAS rigs.

SSIGMA serves three primary segments: manufacturing companies seeking workforce upskilling and automation project support (with named logos including Sandvik, John Deere, Kalyani Bharat Forge, Sarla Advantech, Wipro, and Mahindra Institute of Quality), educational institutions seeking curriculum enrichment and lab build-outs (MIT-ADT, VIT Bhopal, PVG, MGM University, Kirloskar Institute of Management, JSPM), and working professionals/graduates pursuing industry-recognized certification. The company employs 12 people, operates exclusively within India, and runs a sales-led and community-led GTM combining direct enterprise outreach, inbound website inquiries, university partnerships, and the 2024-launched SSIGMA Knowledge Community on LinkedIn. Pricing is quote-based across all revenue streams — training courses, skill gap assessments, lab development, and industrial projects — and the company is privately held with no disclosed funding rounds or public financial reporting.

Revenue mechanics are professional-services driven: per-participant course fees, per-engagement skill gap assessments, project-based automation contracts, and turnkey lab development deals. The leadership team — Founder & CEO Sudarshan Lathkar, COO Dipika Patil Lathkar, Founder & Director Dr. Geeta Lathkar (Ph.D., mechanical engineering; Director at MGM College of Engineering, Nanded), and EVP for Academic Services Dr. H.G. Phakatkar — combines 35+ years of cumulative domain experience with active customer-facing execution. SSIGMA's strategic positioning is as a one-stop bridge between academic engineering output and Indian manufacturing's Industry 4.0 workforce demands, with cumulative reported metrics of 60+ industrial projects, 10+ labs built, and 5,000+ engineering students trained since founding.
