BUSINESS REQUIREMENT: -
Being one of the leading car makers in the country, Maruti over the years has grown into a huge workforce along with an ever-expanding dealer network spread across the country.
- With a rapid expansion in the Indian car market, maintaining the leadership position required the company to invest in training this huge workforce and the dealer network.

- The diversity of trades and the ever-growing car variants that MSIL introduced year after year (over 150 variants at last count) compounded the need for training.
- With strong business growth, Maruti needed to have skilled manpower in all aspects of Maruti’s growing business. Following the innovative approach, Maruti was looking to invest in technology-based solution which is stable, proven, and scalable.
THE CHALLENGE: -
The continuous influx of recruits and constant transfers within the organisation presented a bigger challenge.
- In addition to the employees, the dealers of MSIL also needed to be trained from time to time to be able to sell their products better.
- Not all employees, trainers, and partners could travel to the metro cities to attend frequent training programs.
- The model needed to be sustainable to stand the test of time and growing business requirements.
