Planet Robotics & Automation (I) Pvt. Ltd.

The success story of Planetpro Automation Pvt. Ltd., widely known in the industry as Planet Robotics, is a compelling narrative of vision, precision, and execution. Founded in 2015, the company began its journey as a local automation service provider and steadily evolved into a trusted name in high-end robotic and mechatronics solutions. With a sharp focus on the automotive sector, Planetpro Automation has played a pivotal role in advancing India’s industrial automation capabilities.

At the heart of the company’s rapid growth lies a strong leadership core that blends commercial foresight with deep technical expertise.

Shamsundar Sudhakar Patil – Director (Sales, Marketing & Business Development | Process, Design & Simulation is the strategic architect behind the company’s turnkey automation lines. His responsibilities extend far beyond sales, encompassing the entire pre-production phase. From conceptualizing complete production lines to optimizing processes for specific factory layouts, he ensures efficiency from the very first drawing. By leveraging advanced robotic simulation software, he validates cycle times, reachability, and tool accessibility in the virtual stage itself—significantly reducing commissioning risks and on-site errors.

Rahul Ramesh Jadhao – Director (Operations), anchors the operational strength of the company. He oversees engineering, manufacturing, and commissioning, ensuring that every project meets stringent international quality benchmarks. His focus on disciplined execution has enabled Planetpro Automation to deliver complex automation projects with consistency and reliability.

To effectively serve India’s automotive heartland, Planetpro Automation has established operations across two key industrial locations.

The headquarters in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Waluj MIDC) functions as the company’s core hub for design, R&D, and manufacturing, and also houses the Planet Robotics Academy for skill development. The second facility in Pune, located in the Pimpri-Chinchwad industrial belt, ensures close proximity to leading automotive OEMs, enabling faster technical support, sales engagement, and on-ground coordination.

Planetpro Automation has carved a niche in some of the most demanding segments of automotive manufacturing, particularly Body-in-White (BIW) and welding lines.

The company delivers complete turnkey BIW solutions, integrating geo stations that define vehicle geometry and respot stations that complete structural welds. Its robotic welding expertise spans both spot welding for car bodies and MIG/MAG welding for chassis and structural components. Equally strong is its capability in precision tooling and fixtures—covering design, manufacturing, installation, and commissioning—to ensure repeatability, accuracy, and optimal cycle times on the shop floor.

Planetpro Automation’s growth is rooted in a clear and practical philosophy. By embracing lean automation, the company avoids over-engineering and instead focuses on solving specific production bottlenecks, making advanced automation accessible even to SMEs. Its end-to-end turnkey capability offers clients a single point of accountability, while its strong local presence ensures rapid-response support and minimal downtime.
