Vijaybhoomi University and the Nettur Technical Training Foundation (NTTF) have introduced a training programme that allows employees at Tata Motors to earn university-recognised diplomas while working.

The initiative, marked by a convocation at Tata Motors’ Pimpri-Chinchwad plant, aligns with the National Education Policy 2020 by integrating vocational skills with higher education frameworks.

Under this partnership, NTTF Mechatronics programme graduates receive a Technical Diploma aligned with the National Higher Education Qualification Framework. Learners may subsequently progress to an Advanced Technical Diploma and a B.Tech in Mechatronics without leaving their jobs.

Sanjay Padode, President, Vijaybhoomi University, said, "A university should recognise learning wherever it genuinely happens. Many of these learners have developed advanced technical capability on the shopfloor through structured training and disciplined practice. Our role is to connect that learning with nationally recognised higher education so that they can continue to grow academically without stepping away from their careers."

Ravi Tennety, Managing Director, NTTF, said, "For more than 60-years, NTTF has prepared young people for careers in manufacturing and technology. This partnership gives our learners an opportunity to build on that foundation through formal higher education while continuing to contribute to industry. It creates new possibilities for lifelong learning."

Prof Ravikesh Srivastava, Vice Chancellor, Vijaybhoomi University, said, "India has spoken for many years about integrating skills, industry and higher education. What we are seeing today is one working model of how that integration can happen in practice. It is built on academic quality, industry relevance and learner mobility."

Sitaram Kandi, Chief Human Resources Officer, Tata Motors, said, "Manufacturing is changing rapidly, and so must the way we develop our people. Technical skills acquired on the shopfloor deserve opportunities for continuous academic progression, without requiring employees to step away from work. This collaboration between Tata Motors, NTTF and Vijaybhoomi University creates a pathway where learning, work and career advancement reinforce one another. It recognises that capability is built not only in classrooms but also through disciplined practice, problem-solving and real production environments. By enabling our employees and apprentices to earn nationally recognised university qualifications while continuing to contribute on the shopfloor, we are investing not only in individual growth but also in building a future-ready manufacturing workforce for India."

The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), the apex body representing automotive dealers in India, held its 5th Finance and Insurance (F&I) Summit in Mumbai. The event brought together representatives from the banking, finance, insurance and auto retail sectors to discuss vehicle ownership and dealership viability.

The summit focused on wholesale finance, retail finance and insurance. Guest of Honour Dr. Pankaj Kanchan Rajesh Bhoyar attended the event, which featured participation from leaders including Dr. Rajan Pental of Yes Bank, Raul Rebello of Mahindra Finance and Abhinav Garg of AU Small Finance Bank.

During the event, FADA released the 3rd edition of its Dealer Satisfaction Study for Finance and Insurance, which surveyed over 700 dealerships. The report indicated an increase in satisfaction regarding wholesale finance, retail finance and insurance disbursements. It also identified a requirement for training in the commercial vehicle segment and increased funding for the used-vehicle market.

C S Vigneshwar, President, FADA, said, "If an automobile dealership were a human body, the OEM is our heart, pumping the product lifeblood. Wholesale finance is the bloodstream - the working capital that must flow freely to keep the body energetic. Retail finance is our legs, allowing the customer to walk out with a vehicle, while insurance is our immune system, protecting us when the unexpected occurs. The dealer is the face the customer trusts, but you cannot have a healthy face on an unhealthy body. It takes all four of us - the OEM, the financier, the insurer and the dealer, working in a perfect relay to keep the customer."

Vigneshwar advised dealers to conduct monthly reconciliation of payouts and commissions and to invest in the training of F&I desks, stating, "F&I income is no longer just 'the icing' but a 'loadbearing wall of dealership viability. Our dealer partners have highlighted a few key areas for improvement across finance and insurance. In wholesale finance, they expect more transparent, demand-led funding and quicker transmission of interest rate reductions. In retail finance, there is a strong need for more robust used-vehicle funding solutions and smoother reconciliation processes. In insurance, faster claims settlement and stronger protection of dealer-led customer relationships remain critical priorities.”
