India’s EV transition is accelerating but the skills gap is widening even faster. In this insightful conversation, Vinkesh Gulati, Chairperson, Automotive Skills Development Council (ASDC), lays out the urgent need for 2 lakh trained EV repair technicians, the dangers of treating skilling as an afterthought, and why India must begin the transition with unlearning legacy ICE systems.
He explains why Right to Repair, already implemented globally, is essential for India’s EV ecosystem—and why its rollout in India is now closer than ever. Gulati also highlights how the EV shift is bringing more women into the auto workforce, ASDC’s push for 50% women in EV training, and the growing interest in mobility skills with over 1 lakh students registering for the Auto Olympiad. From workshops to workforce, and policies to practical challenges—this is a deep dive into what India needs to build a truly future-ready EV ecosystem.
