New Delhi : The Automotive Skills Development Council (ASDC) successfully hosted its Annual Conclave 2024 today at the Hyatt Regency, New Delhi. Themed “Collaborate, Empower, Accelerate, and Achieve,” the event brought together key stakeholders from the automotive industry, including policymakers, industry leaders, educators, and training providers, to engage in high-level discussions on the future of automotive skills development in India.

Mr. Vinkesh Gulati, Vice President of ASDC, followed with his remarks, highlighting the importance of collaboration to drive innovation. “The Indian automotive sector is experiencing remarkable growth, and with such rapid expansion, the support of a skilled workforce becomes crucial. This is where the culture of skilling and the role of ASDC become paramount. The future of our automotive industry hinges on how effectively we collaborate to empower both individuals and institutions. By working together, we can strengthen the skilling ecosystem and ensure that India remains competitive on the global stage,” he noted. The conclave also featured panel discussions on topics such as CSR collaborations for purpose-driven impact and accelerating skills for an inclusive India, with prominent voices from organizations like Bajaj, Toyota, and Hero MotoCorp sharing their insights.

In line with its commitment to skill development, Bajaj has launched the BEST (Bajaj Excellence in Skill Training) program focusing on Robotics & Automation for graduates and diploma holders. ASDC is proud to be the assessment and certification partner for this program, ensuring that the candidates receive industry-recognized credentials that will enhance their employability in the rapidly evolving automotive sector. This collaboration exemplifies the shared vision of ASDC and Bajaj to nurture future-ready professionals equipped with the latest technological skills.

One of the event’s major highlights was the Certified Candidates Convocation, where candidates from ASDC’s flagship projects SAKHI SAKSHAM, SHAKTI, SANKALP-SAARTHI, and SANKALP-JEEVIKA were awarded certifications, recognizing their achievements and readiness to join the automotive workforce.

ASDC has made significant strides in empowering women through its focused skilling initiatives, even surpassing the number of male beneficiaries. At today’s event, the presence of 45 skilled young women trained by ASDC added a sense of grandeur and inspiration, showcasing the transformative impact of these programs on their lives and careers. Their achievements stand as a testament to ASDC’s commitment to fostering gender equality in the automotive industry and beyond. WorldSkills Lyon 2024 winners and experts were also recognized for their exemplary performances on the global stage. Dhrumilkumar Dhirendrakumar Gandhi and Sathyajith Balakrishnan, who secured a Bronze medal in the highly competitive Industry 4.0 category, were felicitated alongside Praful Ankush Pendhari, Vikash, and Prem Vasanth Kumar, who earned Medallions for Excellence in Automobile Technology, Car Painting, and Additive Manufacturing, respectively. This special segment celebrated their contributions to enhancing India’s reputation at the WorldSkills Lyon 2024 competitions. The ASDC Excellence and Special Recognition Awards ceremony honoured partners who have made significant contributions to the skilling ecosystem, further highlighting the importance of collaboration in achieving industry milestones. In his closing remarks, Mr. Singhvi reaffirmed ASDC’s commitment to expanding the skilling landscape in India. “Today’s discussions have provided a clearer vision for the future and reinforced the importance of collective action. Together, we can empower individuals, accelerate growth, and achieve excellence in the automotive sector.” The conclave concluded with the signing of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) aimed at fostering partnerships that will strengthen skilling initiatives across the country. The event underscored the critical role of public-private partnerships in addressing the evolving needs of the automotive industry and in achieving global competitiveness.
