This will help us further integrate with them through learning and knowledge sharing in tyres, related services and solutions in mobility. This one-of-its-kind concept is an attempt towards developing a comprehensive skill set in India’s growing mobility market.”

It also showcases the tyre explosion stage from the technical understanding viewpoint.

A special focus on making e-learning modules accessible remotely together with a fully-equipped, in-house content creation capabilities.
