Algonics is a Kolkata design house, founded in 2008 by IIT and IIM graduates. We take inverters, chargers, drives, railway power supplies and web-enabled monitoring systems from a specification to a tested, production-ready design, and hand the complete design to the manufacturer who builds it.
One team covers the power stage, the control firmware, the magnetics and the web software that monitors it. Most projects use all four.
Grid-tied and hybrid inverters, bidirectional and regenerative converters, battery chargers, motor drives and online UPS, from 100 W to 30 kW and beyond. Each runs our own DSP control firmware around magnetics we design and wind in-house.
Integrated power supply racks to RDSO/SPN/165/2023 and level-crossing gate power panels to RDSO/SPN/215/2018: float-cum-boost chargers, inverters, AC-AC and DC-DC converters, and the status and remote monitoring unit.
Browser-based SCADA and control platforms, IoT devices and HMIs, cloud back ends and mobile apps. Our web-enabled control and data acquisition platform went live on Indian Railways automatic signalling sections in 2013 and suits pipelines, substations and process plants.
Recognised by the organisations whose standards our work has to meet, from chip vendor to atomic energy to railway signalling.
Microchip Technology Inc.
A Design Partner agreement with Microchip in place since 2013, covering hardware and firmware design on Microchip digital signal controllers and microcontrollers.
BHAVINI, Department of Atomic Energy
Enlisted by Bharatiya Nabhikiya Vidyut Nigam Ltd, Kalpakkam, following vendor evaluation, for power electronics, UPS, drives, industrial automation, HMI and embedded systems. Our space-vector drive was built for the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor.
RDSO, Indian Railways and BIS
Station IPS to RDSO/SPN/165/2023 Ver 4.0 and LC gate IPS to RDSO/SPN/215/2018 Ver 2.0, tested before RDSO officials. RDSO declared the LC gate IPS technically OK at our works in March 2019. Products developed and certified against RDSO and BIS specifications.
IIT Mandi, SERB IMPRINT-2
Joint research on solar energy, IoT sensor networks and cloud automation, funded by the Science and Engineering Research Board under IMPRINT-2.
IRISET, Indian Railways
Our IP-enabled train monitoring pilot was written up by South Eastern Railway’s Chief Signal Engineer in the signal and telecom institute’s technical magazine. Read the project

More than 15 years of engineering, two RDSO specification families prototyped, and offices in India and the USA, serving defence, atomic energy, railways, energy, industrial and EV mobility sectors.
From specification to working prototype, every step happens in our Salt Lake lab.
We agree the ratings, the standard and the enclosure, then model the mechanics in 3D alongside the schematic.
Inductors and transformers are designed here and wound by hand, so core, gauge and insulation are proven before tooling.
Control firmware runs on Microchip digital signal controllers. Loops are tuned on the bench against live switching waveforms.
Prototypes run at full rated power on our load banks and 15 kVA three-phase test bed, with isolated Fluke instrumentation.
You receive the design pack and the prototype, and we support your team through first production.
We are a design house, not a factory. What we deliver is everything your production line needs to build the product, test it and keep building it.

“Algonics, a rare combination of hardware and software expertise, is a unique team. We depend on their professional expertise and ideas to automate critical electrical test equipment. We have a more than decade-long partnership in our continuous endeavour to modernise our manufactured products.”
“Algonics have been a delight to work with: professional, knowledgeable, attentive, on time and on budget. Although we’ve never met in person, I always feel like I have a trusted team I can count on and who are supporting my success.”
Algonics Systems was founded in Kolkata in 2008 by four partners, graduates of the IITs and IIMs, to design electronic systems that other companies manufacture.
Our early work combined software projects for clients in India and the United States with industrial automation. That led into railway signalling, power electronics and embedded control, and today one team covers the power stage, the control firmware and the browser software that monitors it.
We are now building AI into our own design and development process, and helping clients connect the equipment we design to cloud platforms and intelligent automation.
Founder Director and Managing Director
Somnath co-founded Algonics in 2008 after more than a decade as a system integrator for Allen-Bradley (Rockwell Automation) and later GE Fanuc, automating power stations, steel plants, rolling mills, and chemical and food-processing plants. He holds a degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Roorkee and a master’s in Control Systems and Automation from IIT Delhi.
At Algonics he has led the design of IP-enabled train monitoring, networked signalling multiplexers and integrated power supplies for Indian Railways, along with safety-critical signalling equipment designed to SIL 4, and has taken clients through the complete RDSO certification cycle. His work also covers explosion-proof systems for the chemical and mining industries, UPS systems and embedded control. He now leads the company’s move to an AI-integrated design and development process.
Honorary Director
Soma brings more than 25 years of experience in enterprise technology, solution architecture, cloud platforms, artificial intelligence and digital transformation. She has led large technology teams and delivered complex enterprise programmes for global organisations across several industries, with particular depth in Microsoft Azure, enterprise AI and intelligent agents, data platforms and application modernisation.
At Algonics she shapes the technology vision and growth strategy, connecting the company’s work in power electronics, embedded systems and IoT with AI, cloud platforms and intelligent automation. She works with the leadership team on new markets and industry partnerships in energy, industrial automation, electric mobility and intelligent infrastructure.
Include the ratings, the standard it has to meet and your expected volumes. An engineer reads every enquiry.
