Truck drivers play a critical role in India’s supply chain, yet they continue to face challenges such as road accidents, health risks, demanding working conditions, and limited access to formal financial and digital education. Through Sarathi Mitra’s mobile learning sessions, Castrol aims to reach drivers at their routes and rest points, focusing on road safety, driver wellness, and safer driving practices. The programme also emphasises financial planning to help drivers manage earnings more effectively and build long-term security for their families.

The initiative is further strengthened by Digital Sarathi Mitra, a platform offering anytime, anywhere access to training modules and essential information, creating a more inclusive and future-ready support ecosystem for the trucking community.

With ‘Highways as Classroom’ and ‘Digital Sarathi Mitra’, we are taking our commitment a step further and making learning more inclusive, impactful, and sustainable for the trucker community,” said Kedar Lele, Managing Director, Castrol India Ltd.
