Chennai-based precision mould and plastic parts maker Radiant Design has completed the implementation of Indeeya® ERP across both its Tool Room and Production Facility, marking the latest step in the company’s push to unify its operations on a single digital backbone. The go-live, announced by Founder and Director Navin Kumar, brings tool room and production teams long running on separate systems onto one connected platform.
Founded in 2014 by Navin Kumar, Radiant Design is an ISO 9001:2015-certified manufacturer known for tailor-made injection moulds and plastic parts, serving customers across India, the US, Canada, Australia, and parts of Europe and Asia. With a toolroom and injection moulding facility in Ambattur that includes robotic setups, the company has built a reputation among OEMs for exact tooling, design-for-manufacturing (DFM) work, and end-to-end plastic parts production.
Announcing the milestone, Navin Kumar said the company had used ERP systems for years, but different departments operated on separate platforms, a common pain point in the tooling and mould-making industry, where very few enterprise systems are purpose-built for the specialised workflows of a tool room. The goal, he said, was to bring everything under one system without losing that specialised functionality.
Navin Kumar credited the transition to a relationship built over time with Indeeya founder Vinod Mullasseril, whom he first met at an industry expo. What followed was a period of discussions, evaluations and trials before the system went live across both facilities. Kumar thanked the Indeeya team and the RDES staff who worked on the rollout, saying the company was anticipating a better-connected, efficient, and analytics-driven way of operating.
The implementation places Radiant Design among a growing list of Indian tool rooms and component manufacturers turning to Indeeya, a cloud-based Manufacturing Management System built specifically for India’s tooling and component manufacturing sector. Developed by Lidex India Pvt Ltd under founder and chairman Vinod Mullasseril, Indeeya is designed to digitalise the full workflow of a mould-making business: enquiry management, planning, production execution, quality, shop-floor tracking, and accounts within one integrated, AI-enabled platform. The platform is built to give MSMEs of any size access to the tools, visibility and operational control that larger global enterprises typically take for granted.
Vinod Mullasseril, who brings more than two decades of experience in supply chain optimisation, ERP/MES systems and Industry 4.0 deployments, has positioned Indeeya as infrastructure for India’s roughly $175-billion tooling and component manufacturing industry, connecting MSMEs, OEMs, suppliers and service providers on a common digital layer. The platform made a strong showing at TAGMA’s Die & Mould India International Exhibition earlier this year, where visitors could see live operations mirrored inside the system in real time. Other toolmakers, including Bengaluru’s MacPro Technologies, have already reported gains in productivity and shop-floor visibility after adopting the platform, digitising everything from enquiry and production planning through to quality plus accounting.
For Radiant Design, the ERP go-live comes on the back of a wider digital and growth push. The company recently secured its first foreign direct investment of $1 million from Dubai-based ARVX Ventures as part of a Series A round, funding that Kumar has said will support new capability building and an in-house toy brand aimed at the domestic market. Radiant Design has also been a vocal presence at industry platforms such as TAGMA’s Die and Mould Exhibition, where it showcases its mould tool design and injection moulding capabilities, and has hosted international clients at its Chennai facility for quality and process audits.
Taken together, the Indeeya ERP rollout and the recent funding round point to a company using digitalisation and outside investment as twin levers to scale beyond a traditional job-shop model. As more Indian tool rooms face pressure to match the speed, traceability and transparency expected by global OEM customers, Radiant Design’s move offers a template: unify fragmented systems, bring in domain-specific digital tools built for the realities of mould-making, and use the resulting visibility to compete for larger, more demanding programmes at home and abroad.
