With digital training becoming vital, ASDC has already started working on developing new learning modules and around 90-95 per cent of training will now happen online going forward.

“The Indian automotive sector has been facing headwinds for the past few years, and the situation became tougher, owing to the COVID-19 outbreak. The impact of the pandemic was felt across the value chain — from the component and vehicle manufacturers to dealerships,” Sanghi said in a statement.

He added an individual will now need to be multi-skilled, including doing more than one job and covering jobs nearest to their domain. “Digital training is vital for this.”
