"Last year was a tough year for India, but even in that scenario, we managed 16 per cent (year on year) growth in India. We were the third best after China and South Korea in the country," P.M. Ravikumar, director, sales, Dassault Systemes, SolidWorks, told IANS on the sidelines of the '3DExperience World' event here.
SolidWorks has over 9,000 commercial customers in India and close to 1,500 academic customers. The platform has more than 150,000 users in the country.
According to Ravikumar, the portfolio is only expanding.

The company has set its eyes on three verticals for further growth in India: Industrial equipments where it is already the biggest player, life sciences/healthcare and energy (electric vehicles).
"Today, conventional energies are being replaced by next-gen startups. New opportunities like electric vehicles are what we are looking at while expanding in India," said Ravikumar.
