ELGi Equipments, one of India’s leading air-compressor manufacturers announced its partnership with NASSCOM’s FutureSkills Prime initiative.

With this partnership, ELGi aims to equip every employee with a set of foundational digital skills that will enable them to operate in a digital environment, continually adapt to new ways of working, and add value beyond what can be done by automated systems and intelligent machines. FutureSkills Prime, a skilling programme focused on emerging technologies, is powered by a partnership between the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, the Government of India, NASSCOM, and the IT industry. Over one thousand ELGi employees are scheduled to undertake this program.

Sharing his views on the collaboration, Dr. Jairam Varadaraj, Managing Director of Elgi Equipments Limited, said, “Our purpose is to provide the best experience at each stakeholder touch-point.  In our journey towards this purpose, we recognise that emerging digital technologies will be central pillars in providing such an experience.  Be it customers or employees, or investors, digital can substantially and significantly enhance the experience. This has to be architected by our people and the starting point is to imagine the opportunities through the lens of digital technologies. To enable each employee in our organisation to do this, it is imperative that they have a foundational knowledge of the various digital technologies.  We’re committed to ensuring all of our employees are digitally proficient and conversant with digital technologies as we adapt to the future.”
