Certifications
📍 Tirunelveli | 2021 – Present
Administers international IT certification exams as an authorized Test Center Administrator, ensuring exam integrity and candidate support in line with global testing standards. Alongside exam administration, delivers corporate training across various IT-related products, drawing on the same certification-level rigor he brings to his CAD and BIM training work at Orbit.
📍 Hyderabad | 2021
Created high-impact marketing and technical visualization materials for Telecom Tower Installation projects, combining 3ds Max and V-Ray rendering skills with accurate engineering documentation. Worked directly with engineering teams to translate technical tower-installation drawings into visuals used for client presentations and site planning.
📍 Chennai | 2020 – 2021
Served as Solution Specialist for the Autodesk AEC and M&E product suite, advising client organizations on the right BIM and MEP workflow for their project type and team size. Ran product demonstrations and workflow consultations, helping architecture and engineering firms adopt Revit-based coordination processes instead of legacy 2D drafting methods.
📍 Chennai | 2018 – 2020
Facilitated high-level corporate and institutional training programs covering CAD, 3D visualization and rendering workflows. Compiled and published V-Ray courseware officially distributed by CADD Centre Training Services across its training network, standardizing how V-Ray was taught to students beyond his own classroom.
📍 Ghana, West Africa | 2015 – 2018
Led full centre operations for CADD Centre’s Ghana branch, running Engineering & Design training programs for both school students and corporate clients across a 3-year posting. Held end-to-end responsibility for the regional centre, including revenue targets, instructor scheduling, and maintaining training quality across an international operation.
📍 India | 2014
Produced conceptual design visualization for multiple design studios, translating early-stage concepts into renders that execution teams could build from. Also worked as a guest lecturer, simplifying complex design briefs for students and junior team members earlier in his teaching career, before joining CADD Centre full-time.
📍 India | 2012
Worked in a client-facing design, planning, and site execution role, communicating design briefs from initial concept through to on-site delivery. This early role grounded his later CAD and BIM training work in real construction-site experience, not just software knowledge.

Karthikayan teaches CAD, BIM and 3D visualization software including AutoCAD, Revit Architecture, Revit MEP, Navisworks, 3ds Max and V-Ray, alongside project management tools like Primavera P6, MS Project and Power BI. He has delivered both individual and corporate training across these subjects, drawing on more than 13 years of hands-on industry and training experience rather than classroom-only theory.
Karthikayan has over 13 years of experience spanning CAD engineering, 3D visualization, BIM coordination and corporate training, across roles in India, Ghana, and other markets. His career includes positions at CADD Centre Training Services, Sniper Systems & Solutions, and Pearson VUE Testing Center, giving him direct exposure to both the software itself and how organizations actually deploy it on real projects.
Karthikayan holds 8 professional certifications, including V-Ray 5 SRW Certified (CG World), AutoCAD Professional and Revit User (Autodesk Certified), AEC Building Technical (Autodesk ALC), 3ds Max Professional, Adobe Photoshop Professional, and both Excel Expert and Excel Associate (Microsoft Certified) — a certification spread that mirrors the breadth of software he actually teaches, from design and visualization through to project reporting.
Both. Karthikayan has trained over 30 corporate clients in addition to individual students, and has held roles centred specifically on corporate and institutional delivery — including running an entire regional CADD Centre operation in Ghana with revenue responsibility, and serving as a Solution Specialist advising companies on Autodesk AEC and M&E workflows. That mix of corporate and individual training experience is part of why Orbit assigns him to its corporate training programs.
Yes. Karthikayan compiled and published V-Ray courseware officially distributed by CADD Centre Training Services, prepared a Revit Structure handout used by CADD Centre Malaysia, and worked as a key resource and video content creator for the CloudKampus online learning platform at its launch. He has also designed tailored, industry-aligned curricula for more than 10 universities and colleges.
