Apollo Tyres and Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology (KIIT) have announced a first-of-its-kind strategic association to introduce a specialized elective/module on tire technology for engineering students.
This collaboration marks the first time in India that a tire manufacturer and a technical institute have come together to integrate tire science, design and manufacturing into an engineering curriculum. Apollo Tyres will play a key role in shaping academic content for the course, and will assist the institute in developing the syllabus, preparing study material and ensuring the curriculum reflects the latest technological advances and industry needs.
“This strategic collaboration marks a significant milestone for the Indian automotive sector,” said R Mahalakshmi, chief human resources officer at Apollo Tyres.
