Sona Comstar, in partnership with Tata STRIVE, has opened a vocational training facility in Chakan, Pune.

The Sona Comstar–Tata STRIVE Skill Development Centre was inaugurated by Priya Kapur, Non-Executive Director of Sona Comstar and Chairperson of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee.

Located within the Chakan industrial cluster, the facility aims to train 220 individuals during FY2026–27. The centre offers instructional programs in computer numerical control (CNC) machine operations, electrical maintenance and banking, financial services & insurance (BFSI) roles to match workforce requirements in local manufacturing and service sectors.

The Chakan project expands an existing skill development initiative between Sona Comstar and Tata STRIVE, following the establishment of a similar facility in Chennai. The Chennai centre has provided training to 623 individuals, recording an 80 percent job placement rate and 42 per cent female participation.

Priya Kapur said, "Every young person I met had a different story to tell. Different struggles, different ambitions, but the same dream of building a better future. It was inspiring to hear their journeys and learn what brought them here. Skilling is about much more than employability. It equips young people with the confidence, dignity and practical skills to build better livelihoods. Partnerships like the one between Sona Comstar and Tata STRIVE demonstrate how industry can play a meaningful role in preparing young people for the jobs of tomorrow. I hope the Chakan centre becomes a launchpad for hundreds of such journeys."

The facility will conduct continuous technical training, faculty interactions and industry placement assistance to facilitate employment across manufacturing plants and corporate entities operating in the Pune region.
