The genesis of the company harks back to some years. Originally it was a research group called IITZeus lead by Prof. G. R. Shevare, which began by providing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solutions to India’s aerospace & defense laboratories. During the process, the group developed key proprietary modules backed by intellectual property rights. When SINE was set up, the research group took a commercial shape in the form of Zeus Numerix Pvt. Ltd. and it decided to incubate the company in 2004.

The company has since expanded its product portfolio and operations substantially. Comprised of the right mix of faculty and engineering graduates from IIT Bombay, today its CFD team is larger than many big business houses and government laboratories. Presently it develops and markets its products that span varied areas: Stress Analysis, Electromagnetics, Magnetohydrodynamics, Acoustics, Corrosion, Dynamics & Control and other areas.

Its numerical simulation tools are highly scalable and the team has harnessed the most powerful high performance computers available in the country. The company offers end-to-end engineering simulation services including multi-disciplinary analysis and optimisation for complex engineering systems.

Zeus Numerix currently boasts of many national research laboratories and DRDO laboratories as its customers, with still others in Europe, US and East Asia. It contributes to very prestigious projects such as hypersonic technology demonstrator, fast breeder reactor, missile & rocket systems, etc.

With Angel investment Zeus Numerix has presently graduated from the incubator, and is now a self-sustaining organization.
