Elaborating on this program, Devendra Jalihal, chairman, Centre for Outreach and Digital Education (CODE), IIT Madras, said: “We worked with Industry leaders and designed this course to suit Working Professionals who are looking to get an overview of eMobility. We knew then that it was a unique offering with very high value. But none of us in the team expected such high appreciation and enrolment for the program.”

“Both companies and individuals were very happy with the structure, content and delivery of the program. We now know that we can offer this Program globally across time zones. We had to reduce theory and increase application, and brought Industry Professionals to deliver a significant portion of the content,” the chairman added.
