Jindal Stainless has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Nasscom to provide its employees access to FutureSkills Prime (FSP), a digital skilling platform led by Nasscom in partnership with the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), Government of India.
The partnership will give Jindal Stainless employees access to structured learning programmes covering emerging technologies and professional skills, along with industry-validated certification pathways.
Under the agreement, employees will be able to access the FutureSkills Prime platform and enrol in courses offered through its network of learning and content partners. The platform also provides certification programmes validated by SSC Nasscom, with assessment and certification available for eligible programmes.
Jindal Stainless will have a dedicated learning group on the platform to support employee participation and engagement across the organisation.
Commenting on the partnership, Managing Director, Jindal Stainless, Mr Abhyuday Jindal, said, “The pace of technological change is reshaping industries and redefining the skills required for efficient functioning in the workplace. For an organisation, staying ahead therefore depends not only on adopting new technologies, but also on continually building the capabilities to use them effectively. We believe learning and upskilling must be an ongoing part of professional development, enabling our people to adapt and contribute to the organisation’s evolving needs. Our partnership with FutureSkills Prime is another step towards creating wider access to learning opportunities across the organisation.”
FutureSkills Prime offers courses across Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Internet of Things, Blockchain and Digital Leadership, with learning pathways ranging from foundational digital fluency to advanced programmes. The platform brings together content from industry and training partners and offers multiple learning formats, including self-paced and instructor-led programmes, as well as short, bite-sized modules and comprehensive courses.
Chief Human Resource Officer, Jindal Stainless, Mr Sushil Baveja, said, “People development is most effective when employees have access to learning that is relevant, flexible and suited to their individual levels of experience. Through FutureSkills Prime, our employees can choose from a range of programmes, from foundational digital skills to advanced courses, and pursue recognised certifications at their own pace. The platform gives us a scalable way to facilitate continuous learning across the workforce, while enabling employees to take greater ownership of their professional development.”
The partnership also provides for co-branded certifications for eligible programmes, featuring the logos of MeitY, SSC nasscom, FutureSkills Prime and Jindal Stainless. The initiative builds on Jindal Stainless’ ongoing focus on digital capability development, alongside the deployment of digital manufacturing, planning and analytics solutions across its operations. The company has been progressing its Smart Factory 4.0 programme across its Hisar and Jajpur facilities, including digital manufacturing platforms and Production Planning and Detailed Scheduling (PPDS).
