India's first all-women auto workshop completes a year
India’s first all-women automobile workshop in Jaipur, run by Mahindra and Mahindra, has completed one year of successful operations. The workshop is powered by a team of nine women in roles such as technicians, service advisors, drivers, part managers and security guards.
The Compact Qwik (CQ) auto outlet is a part of Mahindra's initiative named 'Pink Collars' that promotes recruitment of women in core productive roles across the company’s automobile workshops. It was inaugurated on International Girl Child Day last year by Padma Shri, Arjuna Awardee and current MLA Krishna Pooniaas.
