Pune Student Spotlight: Mahesh Kamatkar's Solidworks Path

From Dharashiv, Maharashtra · B.E. (pursuing) · ABC Trainings, Dhanori Centre, Pune

Background — Why Mahesh Picked Dhanori

Mahesh came to ABC Trainings from Dharashiv — a route that often gets framed as a relocation question, but Mahesh's path runs straight through the local centre. Mahesh brought a B.E. (pursuing) background into the centre, where the gap between a qualification and a paying job role isn't academic depth — it's the working-software fluency a hiring manager can verify in 20 minutes. That's the gap this training was supposed to close at Dhanori Centre, Pune, and it did.

The Journey — From First Enrollment to Solidworks

Mahesh went deep on a single specialisation — Solidworks — at Dhanori rather than spreading thin across multiple half-finished tools. That's the un-glamorous, evidence-backed strategy: one tool, full depth, real projects, working portfolio. In Pune's hiring market for this profile, depth beats breadth every time, and the resulting portfolio survives technical interviews precisely because there are no gaps.

The Teaching at Dhanori

What stood out, in Mahesh's own write-up, was the teaching itself. Mahesh praised the well-structured SolidWorks course at Dhanori, the knowledgeable instructors, and the practical sessions covering sketching through assemblies and simulations. In a market where most certificate-issuing institutes treat practical work as optional, that distinction matters more than the certificate itself.

What's Hiring in Pune for Solidworks Profiles

On the hiring side, Pune is more active than the surface suggests. Open positions on ABC Trainings' job-openings desk include Design Engineer (SolidWorks) at Daily CAD CAM, Pune (₹2.4-3 LPA) and AutoCAD Designer at Om Engineers, Pune (₹18-23K/month). Both shortlists prioritise candidates who can demonstrate the kind of software fluency Mahesh's Solidworks portfolio represents. For Pune graduates considering the same path, the takeaway is straightforward: pick the dominant tool in your target industry, commit to 3-4 months of focused training at Dhanori, and start applying while you're still completing the final modules.
