As part of the MoU with the Maharashtra government, Autodesk will train around 8,000 franchisees in the state on the optimum usage of Fusion 360 design platform. "We have also launched a customer showcase portal that will help promote the work of MSMEs who are deriving greater success using Fusion 360," says Nair. "We will also help them showcase their work at various national and international platforms," he said.

With Maharashtra on the way, Autodesk plans to extend the scheme to other states as well. "We are speaking to other state governments to roll out similar programs for local MSMEs," says Nair. "We hope to finalize potential partnerships in the coming months," he added
