Manu Sharma

AVP HR, Hero Electric

Tech talent war within and outside the automobile industry keeps the talent demand high. In the next five years, the automobile industry will be loaded with smart connectivity. Since this is a disruption, there are a lot of doubts in the minds of the customer. Addressing assuring them about the technology remains of paramount importance. Acquiring talent with the right skill sets and getting them conditioned to the industry roadblocks of the electric two-wheeler segment were the main challenges we had faced in the past. We at Hero are currently hiring the right outlook and training candidates for the required skills.
