Mahindra Empowers Women with WE Hunnar Project, Providing Skills and Livelihood Opportunities
Bengaluru: Mahindra Last Mile Mobility Limited (MLMML) has successfully trained 245 women under its Mahindra WE (Women Entrepreneurs) Hunnar initiative, launched in July 2024. The project aims to empower women in the mobility sector by providing skills and livelihood opportunities.
The initiative offers training in three courses: 3W/4W driving, customer care executive, and EV repair and maintenance. So far, 52 women have been trained to drive three and four-wheelers, while 185 women have been upskilled as customer care executives, and eight women in EV repair and maintenance.
Mahindra has also facilitated the licensing process and extended loan opportunities to help these women achieve financial independence. Many of the trained women have secured placements, creating long-term employment opportunities.
