Stainless Academy To Train 5 Lakh MSMEs By 2030

25 Nov 2025 CW Team

Since its launch, Stainless Academy has trained over 60,000 MSME fabricators, educated around 9,000 students across engineering and polytechnic colleges through specialised programmes, and conducted multiple industry sessions to support sectoral development. The academy is associated with Jindal Stainless, India’s largest stainless steel producer.

“In our pursuit of an Atmanirbhar Bharat, building human capital is paramount. The Stainless Academy is our commitment to shaping that future by fostering knowledge, skill and excellence across the value chain. Our goal is not only to prepare a competent workforce but to build an ecosystem that drives India’s industrial growth on the global stage,” said Abhyuday Jindal, Managing Director of Jindal Stainless.

The academy collaborates with leading academic institutions such as IITs, NITs and polytechnic colleges to offer specialised courses, ensuring a future-ready talent pipeline and a smoother student transition into the workforce. A recent example is the company’s MoU with Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya, Vadodara, for advanced research, teaching and training in stainless steel applications, under which classes began earlier this month.

The programme intends to train over 5 lakh MSMEs by 2030, expanding across major stainless steel clusters in Gujarat, Haryana, Delhi-NCR, Maharashtra, Bihar, Tamil Nadu, Odisha, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka and West Bengal. By engaging both urban and rural communities, it ensures equitable access to modern skill development. Through its flagship Fabricator Training Programmes, the academy offers grassroots training in fabrication techniques, design and quality standards. Additional downstream industry programmes help enhance workforce capabilities through workshops and classroom-based learning.

“The Stainless Academy aims to nurture a culture of continuous learning and upskilling that keeps pace with new technologies, processes and possibilities. It is not just about training today’s workforce but preparing tomorrow’s,” said Vijay Sharma, Director, Corporate Affairs at Jindal Stainless.

Stainless Academy, aligned with national programmes such as Make in India and Skill India, has announced plans to reach more than 5 lakh Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) across the country. The initiative aims to equip students, young professionals and MSMEs, including fabricators, with category awareness and future-ready skills to strengthen the value chain and drive sustainable industrial growth.
