Mumbai: Logistics services startup COGOS Technologies plans to employ and train 500 women drivers in its electric vehicle fleet by the end of this year.
Announcing the plan on International Women's Day on Monday, the company said it has already trained and inducted as many as 50 women on a pilot basis as part of the initiative.
The company will provide training and support in order to build entrepreneurial skill-sets in women drivers under its full-stack platform, it said in a release. "We understand the immense potential of women in the workspace and hence have taken it to ourselves to aid in their process of achieving their full potential.
"The growth of women in the sector can only be triggered by valuing diversity and promoting its scope, which shall in turn add innovation and new perceptions to the business," said Prasad Sreeram, Founder and CEO, COGOS Technologies. COGOS, a first in the industry, will impart both functional skills (such as driving, vehicle maintenance) as well as soft skills training (such as communication while delivering, customer orientation) to female employees, it said.
