The Academy offers online as well as hands-on learning opportunities and is rapidly expanding its coverage across India’s EV hubs.
India is looking at the conversion of EV awareness and interest into stronger growth for the EV market. In this light, Autobot Academy plans to expand the network of its training services and establish Autobot Hands-on Hubs in over 10 major EV cluster cities across India. In another two years or so, they intend to launch physical products as well and provide EV learning and career opportunities to millions of people in the years ahead.
