LTM, a Larsen and Toubro Group company, has partnered with the Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur (IIT Kharagpur) to design deep dive training programmes aimed at enhancing workforce skills in artificial intelligence. The collaboration combines LTM's industry expertise with IIT Kharagpur's academic and research leadership to build future ready AI capabilities. The programmes will include targeted learning modules, hands on workshops, and collaborative research initiatives to systematically upskill and reskill employees to meet evolving industry and client demands.

LTM's AI transformation reflects the convergence of deep domain expertise and technology capabilities, driving continuous upskilling and reskilling across the workforce. The targeted programmes will be delivered through modular coursework, practical problem solving sessions, and capstone projects that simulate client scenarios.
