PLI, EVs, and Skills at the Core of India’s Auto Future: Dr. Qureshi, Add Sec, MHI at ASDC Event

ASDC Hosts Annual Partners Forum 2025: “Stronger Together, Transform Tomorrow”

ASDC Hosts Annual Partners Forum 2025: “Stronger Together, Transform Tomorrow

New Delhi: Automotive Skills Development Council (ASDC) successfully hosted its Annual Partners Forum 2025 at The Grand Hotel, New Delhi, bringing together over 250 leading industry stakeholders, government representatives, and academic leaders. This year’s theme, “Stronger Together, Transform Tomorrow,” underscored the urgent need for collaborative action to shape the future of India’s dynamic automotive industry.

The event was inaugurated by Dr. Hanif Qureshi, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Heavy Industries; Prof. T.G. Sitharam, Chairman, AICTE; and Dr. Rodney Riviere, Cluster Coordinator, GIZ India, as Guest of Honour. Also present was Dr. Suhas Deshmukh, Director, NCVET, as Special Guest.

In his keynote address, Dr. Qureshi highlighted the significant role of the automotive industry in India, contributing over $240 billion to the economy and accounting for 42% of manufacturing output.

He said, “Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, the government is committed to building a resilient, future-ready sector with a goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2070. The ₹26,000 crore PLI scheme is driving innovation in electric and hydrogen mobility, with over 12 companies already meeting the 50% domestic value addition benchmark—marking a strong push toward indigenization. Emphasizing the growing demand for a skilled automotive workforce, Dr. Qureshi added, “Skilling initiatives are vital to align with global manufacturing timelines and to boost India’s current 3% share in the $700 billion global auto components market. While ASDC’s efforts in automotive skilling are commendable, there is an urgent need to skill and reskill in emerging domains to bridge the talent gap and prepare for a larger role in next-generation technologies.”

Prof. T.G. Sitharam, Chairman, AICTE, said, “This is indeed a golden period—what the Hon’ble Prime Minister calls the ‘Amrit Kaal’. It’s the right time to build globally competitive, innovation-led products for Viksit Bharat 2047. Skilling participation must rise, especially in robotics and emerging technologies. I commend ASDC for its vital role in preparing a future-ready workforce aligned with industry needs, powering India’s global leadership in automotive and EV sectors.”

Dr. Suhas Deshmukh, Director, NCVET, in his remarks, spoke about the transformative potential of National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, especially in making technical education more inclusive and industry-integrated. “We are committed to embedding hands-on skilling, flexibility, and multidisciplinary learning across institutions to ensure our youth are both job-ready and future-proof,” he noted.

Mr. F. R. Singhvi, President, ASDC, reiterated the forum’s importance: “This gathering reflects the synergy between government, industry, and academia in driving workforce transformation. ASDC is dedicated to preparing a workforce that can adapt to the challenges and opportunities of this decade.”

He further emphasized that beyond technical skills, it is essential to nurture students in areas such as human values, positive attitudes, communication skills, and a sense of responsibility toward their work“We must aim to develop professionals who not only meet but exceed global standards in quality and performance. Only then can we shape future leaders and position India as a global leader in the automotive sector,” he added.

Echoing this vision, Dr. Rodney Riviere remarked, “AI won’t replace our mechanics, trainers, or engineers—it will augment them. It will accelerate training, enhance diagnostics, streamline logistics, and even personalize customer service. The future of our industry isn’t about man or machine—it’s about man and machine working together, like a driver in a high-performance car.”

The event featured several key moments, including the recognition of CSR partnersconvocation ceremony of female candidates under Project Saksham supported by HeroMoto Corp, MoU signings between ASDC and HCL FoundationLucas Indian Services Ltd, Victora Foundation, and Hero MotoCorp Ltd – Haridwar, and two insightful panel discussions – “Classroom to Career: Reimagining Vocational Education under NEP” and “Unlocking Potential: Sustainable Livelihood Skilling through CSR.”

Sponsors for the event included George Telegraph & Vision IndiaISIE India (Imperial Society of Innovative Engineers), and Ascensive Educare.

The forum concluded with a shared resolve to advance India’s skilling ecosystem and position the nation as a global hub for automotive talent. ASDC reaffirmed its commitment to developing innovative and inclusive skilling pathways for a thriving, future-ready India.

Give Grants launches dus spoke India Inc 2025

Give Grants launches dus spoke India Inc 2025, spotlighting CSR’s pivotal role in shaping India’s development future

Bengaluru, June 25, 2025 Give Grants today announced the launch of dus spoke India Inc 2025, its latest report capturing the current state of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in India and offering a roadmap for the future. The report brings together perspectives from 47 CSR leaders and 78 nonprofit heads, alongside a detailed analysis of CSR data from India’s top 200 companies.

The participating CSR leaders collectively manage over INR 6,800 crore in CSR funds annually. Combining practitioner insights with granular data, dus spoke India Inc 2025 explores how CSR has evolved from compliance-driven philanthropy to a potential catalyst for systemic change — and what will be needed for it to fully realise that potential.

Key highlights of the report include:

At 1.2 lakh crore, CSR will be the largest stable source of private funding for India’s development needs in the coming decade- As India Inc continues to outperform most global markets, India’s CSR is poised for high growth. It is likely to be the largest source of funding, outstripping philanthropy and individual giving.

Geographic disparity persists because industrial growth is disparate – Funds remain concentrated in a few industrialised states. CSR funding follows industrial concentration, not development needs. States with higher GDP and stronger industrial presence, like Maharashtra (15%), Karnataka (9%), Gujarat (8%), and Delhi (5%), receive the largest share of CSR funds. Low-income states, including much of the North East, Bihar (less than 1%), and Uttar Pradesh (around 4%), are left underfunded despite high poverty and weak SDG outcomes, simply because fewer companies operate there.

Government nudges have yet to deliver equitable CSR flows- Despite being national priorities, low-income regions, including the North East and aspirational districts, remain underfunded. Just eight companies account for 60% of CSR spend in the North East, while only seven companies contribute nearly 37% of CSR funds directed to aspirational districts.

Risk appetite for innovation is low- CSR investments remain heavily concentrated in core themes education (34%), health (27%), skilling (12%), climate (10%), rural development (8%), and others (7%). Funding for emerging priorities or early-stage innovation is scarce, with 73% of nonprofits reporting little or no support for pilots or experimental initiatives.

The evolving CSR-NPO relationship: Nonprofits remain deeply dependent on CSR funding, with half receiving more than 50% of their annual budgets from corporate sources. The report highlights the need for CSR funders to move from transactional engagements to trust-based, long-term partnerships that empower NPOs to drive lasting change.

Collaboration Still Nascent: Despite shared goals, most companies execute corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives in silos. Among those surveyed, 68% cited poor strategic alignment as a barrier to collaboration, while 40% pointed to brand concerns and governance complexity as limiting factors.

Looking ahead, the report notes that India’s top 200 companies- responsible for over 50% of total CSR spend- will play a defining role in shaping CSR’s next chapter. With CSR contributing just 1-2% of what the government spends on social services, the sector’s greatest opportunity lies in supporting innovation and pilots that others can scale, positioning CSR as an impact multiplier rather than just an impact creator.

Commenting on the launch, Sumit Tayal, CEO of Give Grants, said: “CSR in India has evolved remarkably over the past decade. But the next phase will be about bold choices, directing funds where they are needed most, taking risks to innovate, and working together across sectors to drive large-scale change. dus spoke India Inc 2025 lays out both our achievements and our unfinished agenda.”

From Compliance to Catalyst

The dus spoke India Inc report underscores the need for a paradigm shift from fragmented, compliance-driven CSR efforts to unified, strategic investments that target root causes of inequity. The report calls for a deepened commitment to

● Geographic Equity: Direct more funds toward underrepresented regions.

● Capacity-Building: Invest in nonprofit institutions to create sustainable, long-term impact.

● Systems Innovation: Support early-stage ideas and pilot programs that can grow into scalable solutions.

Cross-Sector Collaboration: Encourage partnerships between corporations, nonprofits, and government to amplify outcomes.

The report reaffirms Give Grants’ commitment to advancing India’s CSR ecosystem and supporting companies to deliver high-impact, purpose-driven giving.

This collaboration fuels a larger vision: to equip every home with the tools to make greener, better-informed choices — without compromise.

Shubhodip Pal, CEO, ITW – Integrated Marketing Services, added, “This isn’t just about teaming up with a sports legend. It’s about values — trust, consistency, quiet excellence — and SCALA2 embodies all of that as a smart pressure booster for homes. Our approach was insight-driven, and Rahul was the clear choice to bring this vision to life. We are excited to be a part of this journey with Grundfos.”

5 Exciting Ways to Use Balsamic Vinegar in Indian Meals This Week

Indian food is all about bold spices, vibrant colours, and unforgettable flavours. But sometimes, a little twist can take your favourite dishes to a whole new level. Enter balsamic vinegar— a kitchen stapes in Italy, but a bit of hidden gem in Indian kitchens. It’s sweet-tangy flavour works surprisingly well with our spices and ingredients, adding a modern touch to classic recipes.

Ready to shake things up? Here are five easy and exciting ways to use balsamic vinegar in your Indian meals this week:

  1. Balsamic Chaat Salad
    Give your regular chaat a gourmet makeover! Toss together boiled chickpeas, chopped onions, tomatoes, cucumber, coriander, and pomegranate seeds. Add a splash of balsamic vinegar, a squeeze of lemon, chaat masala, and a pinch of black salt.
    The balsamic vinegar adds a rich, tangy kick that makes the whole salad pop with flavour.
  2. Balsamic Paneer Tikka
    Take your paneer tikka game up a notch. Marinate paneer cubes in yogurt, ginger-garlic paste, red chilli powder, garam masala, and just a hint of balsamic vinegar. Grill or bake until golden and slightly charred.
    The vinegar helps tenderize the paneer and adds a subtle sweetness that perfectly balances the spices.
  3. Roasted Veggies with Balsamic Glaze
    Roast your favourite Indian veggies – think carrots, cauliflower, and bell peppers –  with olive oil, salt, pepper, and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar. Roast until caramelised and golden. The Balsamic brings out the natural sweetness of veggies and gives your everyday sabzi a restaurant-style upgrade.
  4. Balsamic Fruit Raita
    For a raita with a twist, mix diced apples, bananas, and pomegranate with thick curd. Stir in a little balsamic vinegar, roasted cumin powder, and a touch of honey. The vinegar cuts through the richness of the curd, making the raita bright and refreshing – perfect alongside spicy mains.
  5. Balsamic Drizzle on Tandoori Pizza
    Make a homemade pizza with a base of tandoori chicken or paneer, onions, and capsicum. Once it’s out of the oven, finish with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction (just simmer balsamic vinegar till thick).
    This tangy-sweet glaze pairs beautifully with the smoky, spicy toppings and takes your pizza to the next level.

You can find good-quality balsamic vinegar at most gourmet or online stores in India. Try brands like Colavita for that authentic Italian touch. Start with a little, taste as you go, and see how this versatile ingredient can become your new secret weapon in the kitchen. Give these ideas a try, and you might just find yourself reaching for the balsamic bottle more often than you’d expect!
