Dr. Ashok Chitkara, Chancellor, Chitkara University, stated that the collaboration would foster talent in the vertical transportation industry. KONE India will also offer training sessions for educators to enhance their teaching methodologies and leverage technology effectively in their classrooms.
Speaking during the launch, Amit Gossain, Managing Director, KONE India & South Asia, said, “We are proud to collaborate with Chitkara University, in developing a Center of Excellence for Vertical Transportation, fully equipped with Electrical and Mechanical Labs, a first in the country within a university campus. The Centre will equip students with the skills and hands-on experience and address the growing demand for safe, sustainable, and smart urban mobility solutions.”
KONE India had earlier introduced the first vertical transportation diploma course in collaboration with Chitkara University, which is now being developed and upgraded to a bachelor’s engineering degree program. “With growing urbanization, it was important to develop a course of this kind in India. At KONE India, we are keen on investing in skill development and creating opportunities that benefit the industry and society at large,” added Gossain.
