Deep Domain Expertise, Delivered by Pune COE
From predictive maintenance to process optimization, Life Sciences Industry segment to Modernization including Validation, & Energy Industry segment to Reliability Solutions (including Asset management), it is proven that domain expertise is not just an advantage, but a critical enabler of value delivery and increased winnability in complex global pursuits. That's the premise behind Industry Domain Gurus (IDG), a three-pillar strategy built on Industry segment, Domain expertise, and Software/Solutions. This quarter, various teams from Pune COE delivered substantial value to our customers by reducing risks, speeding timelines, delivering quality and saving customers real money.
Listening for a machine's “heartbeat” amid industrial noise is no easy feat. The Pune Reliability Hub proved its world-class skill, delivering predictive maintenance for Bayonne Energy and Micron Semiconductor Singapore. Consultant Dhasarathy Harikrishnan analysed vibration data across 214 critical assets - pumps, fans, blowers, compressors — catching subtle faults before failure and shifting global sites from reactive fixes to proactive strategy.
Vibration Analysis Consultant: Dhasarathy Harikrishnan, Reliability Hub, Pune COE
Great business wins start with technical trust. On the MJ BioPharma Siemens S7 modernization, consultants stepped in from day one — catching documentation gaps in January, building a transparent roadmap by February, and matching an aggressive timeline by March. That groundwork didn't just build a flawless execution plan; it accelerated the sales cycle straight to a purchase order with technical consultant inclusion.
Sales: Shalini Kaushik | Technical: Sharayu Sasane, with Rajeshwari Pawar and team, Modernization Hub, Pune COE
Pharma manufacturers operate under strict global rules - cGMP, GAMP 5, FDA 21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11. The LS Hub validation team aligned deliverables to GAMP 5 on two flagship projects: a risk-based, dual-track validation strategy for Novo Nordisk's 25L line in Denmark, and strategic oversight on Novartis's Inclisiran live upgrade — accelerating compliance while cutting risk.
Validation: Deepali Temgar and Gaurav Kardile, LS Hub, Pune COE
For a UK customer's Sartorius BioSMB skid, the team built a schema-based mapping solution linking it seamlessly to Emerson DeltaV — on time, to spec. Facing zero prior documentation, the team rapid-upskilled in C# and DeltaV Batch to deliver a full end-to-end integration, cutting manual engineering effort for good.
Project & Process: Kedar Kulkarni with Gayatri Sadaphal and Sagar Bhagwat, LS Hub, Pune COE
At MSD Singapore, the LS Hub team replaced high-cost external consultants with 260 hours of advanced loop tuning and full recovery-skid automation — plus local engineer training. The result: stable automated operations and a clean business case, delivering $36,400 in revenue alongside $70,200 in cost avoidance.
Process Consultancy: Nilesh Chordiya, LS Hub, Pune COE and team
Each engagement reflects the strength of Industry Domain Gurus and the exceptional capability inside Pune's Centers of Excellence. From predictive maintenance and modernization to life sciences validation and process optimization, these teams keep delivering solutions that strengthen customer operations and build lasting partnerships.
As IDG expands its global reach, Pune stays at the forefront — combining deep domain expertise, collaborative problem-solving, and customer-focused execution. Together, we're not just solving today's engineering challenges; we're shaping the future of industrial excellence.
