By around 2030, most of India’s vehicles will be running on electric power. This will be a great disruption. Today 7.1% of India’s GDP comes from auto-sector. The processing and distribution of transport fuel contributes to another 5%. This 12.1% GDP and millions of jobs associated with them will be under threat. The transition will not be smooth if this is not handled well. You are walking into the beginning of this transition. Your knowledge and skills, honed by this institute, could make a difference. Similarly, Robotics, 3D-Manufacturing, Nanomaterials are present now and are going to transform the society. Electric aircrafts will not be too far behind in this fast-changing world. Your ability to learn new things, train and adopt yourself quickly, can make you to lead the world.”
