Mahindra Expands WE Hunnar Initiative to Train Women in Mobility Sector

Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited (MLMML) has expanded its Mahindra WE (Women Entrepreneurs) Hunnar initiative, a skill development program aimed at training women in the mobility sector. Launched in July 2024 as part of the company’s corporate social responsibility efforts, the program provides training in three-wheeler and four-wheeler driving, customer care, and electric vehicle (EV) repair and maintenance.  

On International Women’s Day, MLMML recognized participants who completed the program and obtained their driving licenses. A total of 245 women have been trained under this initiative, including 52 in vehicle operation, 185 in customer care, and eight in EV repair and maintenance. In addition to hands-on training, the company facilitated licensing procedures and worked with financial institutions to offer loan opportunities for participants seeking employment.  

Initially launched as a pilot program in Bengaluru, the initiative is now set to expand to other cities across India. MLMML collaborated with Lok Bharti Education Society as its training partner to implement the program. The company aims to continue supporting workforce diversity and economic opportunities for women in the mobility sector.
