Since 2019, Shriram has partnered with Pratham to advance automotive skills training, reaching over 9,700 youth across nine districts in seven states through the Shriram-Pratham Automotive 2W Skilling Centres. What sets Shriram’s program apart is its commitment to inclusivity and skill development, exemplified by women-only batches designed to empower women in the traditionally male-dominated automotive sector. In 2023-24, nearly 150 women enrolled in the course through women-only and open-for-all batches. Additionally, 82% of students belong to reserved categories under India’s Affirmative Action Plan. Shriram’s efforts provide technical expertise while creating a more inclusive industry, paving the way for sustainable livelihoods and greater opportunities for all participants at the Shriram-Pratham Centres.
