Automovill,
a mobility start-up focused on car after-sales services has launched India’s
first dedicated LMP (Learning Management Platform) to up skill auto mechanics
and technicians. The brand has launched the platform in partnership with
Scaffold Technologies.
The
objective of the platform is to up skill semi-skilled and skilled mechanics
across the country by providing access to information on the different vehicles
maintenance & servicing techniques, and challenges associated with the
particular vehicle.
Currently,
the training material will be available in 2 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 in more languages.
India
has approximately more than 5 million semi-skilled and skilled technicians
spread across 718 districts. Most of them deal with the day to day challenges
of not having the proper/adequate knowledge and standard operating procedure to
deal with different set of cars.
The
AI and ML-enabled platform will allow a technician to view videos / text
visuals of even the latest make and models services right from the engine,
suspension, clutch to breaks works all mechanical and electrical works can be
viewed by the technicians, and they can even make money by uploading similar
videos that might guide others from the peer.
On
the LMP launch Mridu Mahendra Das, Co-Founder & CEO, Automovill said “In a
country like India we have about 20+ OEM’s in the current scenario. For Every 3
to 6 months these OEMs are launching new vehicles that would have different
functioning. However, against the pace of launch, there are about 5 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. We will keep inviting it with
latest AI,ML and AR technology to add more and more tools to up skill
automotive mechanics and technicians
community. By end of 2023 Automovill wants to up skill about 5 million
plus semi skilled and skilled technicians across the country with presence over
100+ cities and will be available in all major Indian languages,” he added.
“We
are really excited that the Auto technician across the country will be
benefited through this platform and our partnership with Automovill. We look
forward to bring such more disruption in future,” said Vimal Kanth Tummala, Co-Founder,
Scaffold Technologies.
The
brand has already provided a strong content portfolio with 2000+ videos now
available on the platform.
