As the automotive industry moves toward sustainability worldwide, DIYguru, a pioneer in EV education and training, will lead efforts to equip the workforce for India’s rapidly expanding EV sector. The company is driving this change with its ‘Hardware Driven Approach’, in which the tri-party collaboration of DIYguru, Tadpole Projects, and EVI Technology is working on the in-house manufacturing of the EV systems explicitly designed to upskill the learners with the combination of 2W technology, retro fitment, embedded for vehicle automation, charging systems and advanced 4W segment.
Prof. B. K. Panigrahi, IIT Delhi CART, supervises the overall R&D development. This has enabled the development of India’s most affordable in-house EV lab units, which are now an integral part of all DIYguru training offerings.
To achieve the target of “All India EV laboratories” and advanced training, L&T Edutech has initiated a collaboration with DIYguru as its implementation partner. This collaboration, a beacon of hope for the future of E-Mobility education in India, focuses on the E-mobility ecosystem development across universities and institutions at both private and government levels. Students will not only be provided with advanced training but will also undergo LIVE sessions, along with the EV lab centre of excellence, implemented and maintained at their respective institutional campuses. This initiative will allow accessible EV practical training, which is currently a concern in this sector.
Sharing his thoughts on the development, Founder & CEO of DIYguru, Avinash Singh, said:
With a committed vision and robust educational framework, DIYguru and L&T Edutech are not just part of the EV revolution — they are leading the sector with innovative growth, and R&D-driven solutions. DIYguru has served more than 25 industries in the past 12 months from 8 different technology sectors, highlighting the incorporation of E Mobility across different industry chains.
The proposal here is to develop more advanced systems over the next 12 months, focusing on heavy vehicle units, EV analytics and ML Techniques, and hands-on EV vehicle development. The content developed for this partnership from DIYguru is supported by L&T Edutech in terms of quality refinement and Industry synchronization. The training segments, meticulously categorized to meet the demands of electrical, electronics, mechanical, automotive, and computer science domains, ensure a comprehensive and well-rounded upskilling. This balance of technical, research-oriented, and software-driven upskilling instils confidence in the learners about the quality of education they are receiving.
DIYguru has launched the ‘At your home EV Kit’ Programme to achieve self-sustainable growth of engineering advancements among its learners. With this programme, it is developing custom-manufactured electronics and embedded kits for EV applications that are entirely ARM cortex-based to ensure industry standards. These hardware sets shall be delivered to each enrolled student at their doorstep. This initiative involves EVI Technologies as the technology partner, aiming to enhance electronics integration for EV applications. Students will work on STM-based simulations and self-develop these hardware applications with the delivered kits. This collaboration is supported by 50+ LIVE sessions and trainers working with students to master control systems, vehicle automation, and embedded programming as supervisor-based training support.
Ayush Sharma, a scientific researcher from Germany and Co-founder of DIYguru, is managing the technical implementation of these programmes and stated:
The growth of E mobility is essential for India to balance its current dependency on the IT fields. Students are forced to quit their existing engineering domains for a non/less related job due to a lack of confidence and poor clarity over their core engineering careers. This certainly impacts the future needs of good engineers as India moves towards in-house R&D manufacturing, semiconductor sectors and Mobility domains. E Mobility as an industry sector has the potential to support this changing trend within India and bridge the gap among industries, providing a more shared cloud of skill sets for a robust engineering future.
DIYguru is implementing this model across its COEs and with several universities across different regions of India. The collaboration is also extended into the ITI/Diploma sectors, where the hardware focuses on repairing, maintaining, and servicing the vehicle powertrains and charging stations for service and on-site job profiles. The curriculum is divided into 11 sectors, each targeting one specific technology area.
