Forthcoming legislation mandates, such as, the leapfrogging to BS VI by 2020, signal the winds of change that will be witnessed across India's manufacturing ecosystem. Increased levels of automation on the shop floor will necessitate highly skilled workers.

Above all, India is home to the world's largest youth population, so the nation is faced with the added challenge of providing employment that meets the aspirations of this young brigade.

The Company's vocational training program ties in well with the ‘Make in India' program (a national initiative that is expected to generate around 90 million jobs by 2025). Imparted at the Bosch Vocational Center, as of December 2016, around 3,500 individuals have passed out, with around 25 percent finding employment outside of India.
