The detailed and efficient design and engineering process has a strong impact on the overall manufacturing project cost. There is immense demand for companies that help various industries to achieve these objectives by providing a blend of domain knowledge and the usage of software tools & technologies in every stage of product life-cycle. This requires very qualified, highly skilled engineers with a depth of experience in delivering all aspects of project. However, there is glaring shortage of experienced design engineers in a market who are available at short notice.
Identifying the need of the industry, the founder Mr. Veeravalli MK Prasad built Pioneer Design & Engineering Services (PDES), an engineering services company, whose aim is to offer strategic project staffing to automotive OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) companies & Tier 1 suppliers in CAD/CAE/PLM. Incepted in 2009, the company has a pool of industry ready engineers, who can join and participate and execute clients’ projects instantly without any delay. Apart from automotive, the company also provides aeronautics and heavy/general engineering services to customers that help them in developing complex mechanical designs and products, significantly reduce their time-to-market and help them penetrate early and deep into the existing and emerging markets. PDES’s team has an expertise in automotive product design including interior, exterior, lighting, seating, electrical using high-end CAD/CAE packages like CATIA V5, PRO-E, UGNX, ALIAS, ICEM SURF, Hypermesh, ANSA, Patran, Nastran, Lsdyna and other applications.

Strengthening the Eco-System
“The principle idea behind the establishment of the company is to create employment for enthusiastic engineers, who want to work in the field of automotive design and engineering,” says Veeravalli MK Prasad, Head-Operations. With offices in Bangalore, Chennai, Pune, Hyderabad and Riyadh (KSA), the company is growing by leaps and bounds. In the process PDES has created history by recruiting 200+ engineers from various streams, transformed their lives by developing their competencies in automotive design, and successfully provided them with 100% employment with top OEM & Supplier companies.
As part of the company’s commitment towards creating employment, it has created ACCEPT-Academic Center of Excellence in PLM Technologies. It is a part of Pioneer Design‘s academic enabled competency development programs to bridge competence gaps between the academic environment and the industry requirements. ACCEPT is purely a joint engagement between PDES and engineering colleges/universities to create “Industry Ready Engineers”. ACCEPT mainly refers to people, skills, methods, and tools that engages student engineers, faculty and industry experts with rich domain expertise in mutually-beneficial and respectful collaboration that addresses the current industry need in the field of design and engineering, train them so they possess the right skills, and enable them to become outstanding professionals in the field of engineering and design.
PDES focuses on one particular niche requisite to develop market specialization. This market-specific expertise helps its clients to stay ahead of their competitors and provide them wider audience. This unique proficiency sets company apart from its own competitors. With India becoming one of the most preferred destinations in manufacturing – OEM – companies worldwide, many foreign automotive/aero companies have already invested and started their design centers in India. PDES with its eye-catching profile has garnered prestigious clienteles from these prestigious companies as well.
The company has been awarded as ‘the Best Support Partner’ by GRUPO ANTOLIN which is our Pune based European client. As company’s industry ready design engineers provided them highly flexible solution for mission critical requirements that had to meet strict time constraints.
