Automovil, a full-stack mobility startup focused on car after-sales services, has launched India’s first dedicated Learning Management Platform (LMP) to upskill auto mechanics and technicians. The brand has launched the platform in partnership with Scaffold Technologies. The objective of the platform is to upskill semi-skilled and skilled mechanics across India by providing access to information on the different vehicles maintenance and servicing techniques, and challenges associated with the particular vehicle.
The training material will be available in two formats – photo with text and video for every make and model of the cars. The brand has kept the access to the LMP free of cost in its initial phase. The service is currently available in English, Hindi and Kannada languages. As the portfolio and traction grow, it will be available for more languages.
Mridu Mahendra Das, Co-Founder and CEO, Automovil, said that in a country like India, there are about 20+ OEMs in the current scenario. “For every three to six months, these OEMs are launching new vehicles that would have different functioning. However, against the pace of launch, there are about five million technicians those are yet not trained for the new models. The gap in terms of training and servicing knowledge is evident. The LMP has been launched to fill in this gap only,” Das explained. “We will keep upgrading it with latest AI, ML and VR technology to add more and more tools to upskill automotive mechanics and technicians community.
