Skill-Lync, one of India’s largest EdTech platforms, has reached a major milestone by teaming up with over 100 automotive OEMs, ER&D firms, GCCs, and Tier-1 suppliers across India. Having placed 3000 learners in core engineering roles, the platform aims to bridge the skills gap and help companies recruit proficient engineers, Skill-Lync offers more than 250 courses in key engineering fields.
Skill-Lync addresses the skills gap in India’s job market by providing practical, industry-relevant training that often goes beyond what is covered in academic programs. The startup collaborates with top automotive players, including Maruti Suzuki, RNTBCI, Bosch, Continental, Daimler, and Tata Elxsi, offering training tailored to industry needs.
“Our goal at Skill-Lync has always been to empower engineers to pursue careers that align with their potential. As a nation producing millions of engineering graduates each year, it’s our responsibility to prepare them effectively. We are proud to have guided so many aspiring engineers towards successful careers,” said Suryanarayanan Paneerselvam, Co-Founder of Skill-Lync.
The platform’s training programs cover cutting-edge automotive domains such as Electric Vehicles, Software-Defined Vehicles, Automotive Embedded Systems, Cybersecurity, AI, and Machine Learning. Skill-Lync’s diverse delivery models include GET bootcamp training, ICE to EV transition, lateral upskilling, and more.

This partnership helps us deliver high-quality products to our customers. We are proud to have reached the milestone of partnering with over 100 automotive clients and look forward to deepening our collaborations.”
Despite strong foundational knowledge, 80% of engineers lack the practical skills needed in core industries. This gap leads many graduates in Mechanical, Chemical, and Electrical Engineering fields to seek alternative career paths. However, the demand for these engineers is increasing, particularly in the automotive sector, driven by advancements in Electric Vehicles, Autonomous Vehicles, AI, and Cloud Computing, as noted by Quess Digital Engineering.
Skill-Lync’s platform combines robust academic education with hands-on training in software tools, projects, and placement support. Over the years, it has empowered thousands of engineers in areas like Automotive Design (CAD), Electric Vehicle Design, CAE, and Artificial Intelligence.
