Shell Lubricants recently organized a Masterclass training session for 46 bike mechanics and Independent Workshop Owners (IWS) in New Delhi. The session was part of the company’s nationwide initiative aiming to engage and train approximately 7000 mechanics and IWSs across 16 Indian cities. The New Delhi Masterclass session gave the participants an opportunity to meet technical experts, learn about the future of two-wheeler technology, understand the potential changes in their business and gain certificates and recognition.
Shell is running the global Masterclass competition across several countries like Thailand, Malaysia, Philippines, Vietnam, and Indonesia, from where the top winners will be selected in November in Malaysia. The Shell Advance Masterclass sessions provide a platform for mechanics to get training, access to globally designed modules and meet experts at a local and global level. The New Delhi session was one of the several regional level training programs based on which, certain mechanics will qualify for the national round scheduled in Delhi in September. The top ten best performers thereon will get the opportunity to represent India at a global level in Malaysia and a chance to see the Moto GP racing event live!
