1.1 Why SoftTech Stands Apart Strengths and Achievements

Most technology providers in the AECO and GovTech space offer fragmented tools for plan approvals, project tracking, or sustainability. SoftTech Engineers Limited is different we deliver a unified, regulation-first platform that governments and enterprises can trust for scale, compliance, and transparency.

What Makes Us Different

Regulation-Centric DNAws, workflo :UnlikenewentrantsexperimentingwithAI

SoftTech has spent decades codifying building regulations across 18+ states and 1,500+ ULBs giving us the most comprehensive compliance dataset in the industry.

Lifecycle Coverage: Competitors solve one part of the problem. Our CivitSuiteR (Plan ? Permit ? Build ? Sustain) uniquely covers the entire urban development lifecycle.

Citizen as Stakeholder : While most platforms stop at government back-end digitization, we built RuleBuddyR AI tool, a citizen -facing AI compliance assistant that makes codes transparent and interactive.

Innovation Beyond Products : Through AmpliNXT, we dont just improve our own solutions we incubate next-gen Tech startups, ensuring a pipeline of innovation others cannot replicate.

Policy-Level Impact: We are not just a vendor but a policy enabler our systems contributed to Indias jump in the World Bank EoDB rankings (187th ? 27th in Construction Permits), a transformation unmatched by competitors.

Sustainability Built-In: Others are adding ESG as an afterthought. With CivitSustainR, sustainability and Digital Twin based Net-Zero compliance are embedded into our core offerings.

Global Relevance with Local Fit: Many international players face adoption barriers in India due to complex regulations. SoftTech combines global partnerships (Autodesk, Dassault, ESRI, SAP, Mitsubishi, CGI) with local regulatory depth, making us uniquely adaptive across geographies.

Proof of Differentiation

Over 2 million permits processed covering 30+ billion sq. ft., with one permit generated every few minutes unmatched in India.

First digital TDR Exchange and GRSF Redevelopment Portal in India solutions competitors have not yet attempted.

Recognized globally at various expos like Digital Building Permit Congress Germany, validating SoftTech as a thought leader, not just a service provider.

Delivered 99% reduction in approval time in Mumbai (90 days ? 9 days) and 80% cost savings at MIDC, demonstrating impact at scale.

2 Economic & Industry Overview

2.1 Global Economic Environment

The global economy is projected to expand at a moderate pace, with the IMF forecasting ~3.2% growth in 2025. Advanced economies continue to face headwinds from high interest rates and geopolitical uncertainty, while emerging markets remain the engine of global growth. India, projected to grow at 6.2% in 2025, stands out as a demand hotspot for housing, urban infrastructure, and digital governance.

Technology adoption in the sector is accelerating. Global IT spending is set to reach USD 5.43 trillion in 2025 (+7.9% YoY), with enterprises prioritizing AI, SaaS, and cloud platforms. For AEC, this translates into widespread adoption of AI-driven compliance engines, BIM-GIS integration, digital permitting workflows, and Digital Twins for ESG monitoring.

Relevance to SoftTech

These trends align directly with SoftTechs CivitSuiteR

CivitPlan? and CivitPermit? address the need for faster, AI-enabled housing and permitting approvals.

CivitInfra? caters to the surge in global infrastructure lifecycle management.

CivitSustain? positions SoftTech at the forefront of the green building and ESG compliance wave.

By combining regulatory depth with global-ready technology, SoftTech is uniquely positioned to capture opportunities in both emerging and developed markets.
