Attendees were asked to keep microphones off and post questions via chat to maintain a bilingual (English-Hindi) flow.All participants were offered an <a href="https://emobility.academy/insights/article/ev-vcu-troubleshooting-guide-master-electric-vehicle-diagnostics/">exclusive EV VCU Troubleshooting Guidebook</a> for completing the session, available here.Participants were also encouraged to invite peers interested in EV careers and stay connected through the official <a href="https://chat.whatsapp.com/GOHvAVPQl2X6yyaF77hv00">Masterclass Group!</a><h2 data-start="2774" data-end="2820">Inside the Session: The EV Career Roadmap</h2><h3 data-start="2822" data-end="2853">The EV Landscape in India</h3>Rahul Kumar Bidawat began by highlighting the state of India’s e-mobility market, discussing leading OEMs such as Tata Motors, Mahindra, Tesla, BYD, MG, Citroen, Hyundai, and Porsche in the four-wheeler segment, and Ola, Ather, Ultraviolette, Log9, and Kinetic Green in the two- and three-wheeler space.He noted that Tata and Mahindra dominate domestic EV sales, while startups continue to innovate, creating a surge in technical job opportunities across design, simulation, manufacturing, and diagnostics.<h3 data-start="3390" data-end="3434">Case Study: Rare Earth Magnet Shortage</h3>Rahul discussed the global rare earth magnet shortage, explaining how these magnets power EV motors due to their high efficiency and torque density. He pointed out that China’s export restrictions have disrupted global supply chains and shared industry perspectives, such as Rajiv Bajaj’s statement on potential Chetak production delays.He then highlighted India’s innovation-led response: Ola Electric and Simple One recently launched rare earth magnet-free motor platforms, turning a supply crisis into a breakthrough in domestic innovation.<h2 data-start="4012" data-end="4058">DIYguru’s Role in the EV Career Ecosystem</h2>Rahul detailed how DIYguru empowers individuals by offering structured EV upskilling, consulting, and placement support. He outlined key domains within the EV career ecosystem:<table data-start="4246" data-end="4691"><thead data-start="4246" data-end="4298"><tr data-start="4246" data-end="4298"><th style="text-align: left;" data-start="4246" data-end="4269" data-col-size="sm">EV Career Domain</th><th style="text-align: left;" data-start="4269" data-end="4298" data-col-size="md">Opportunities & Roles</th></tr></thead><tbody data-start="4353" data-end="4691"><tr data-start="4353" data-end="4418"><td data-start="4353" data-end="4371" data-col-size="sm">Battery Systems</td><td data-start="4371" data-end="4418" data-col-size="md">BMS Design Engineer, Battery Safety Analyst</td></tr><tr data-start="4419" data-end="4494"><td data-start="4419" data-end="4445" data-col-size="sm">Powertrain & Simulation</td><td data-start="4445" data-end="4494" data-col-size="md">Vehicle Integration, Control System Modelling</td></tr><tr data-start="4495" data-end="4550"><td data-start="4495" data-end="4515" data-col-size="sm">Assembly & Repair</td><td data-start="4515" data-end="4550" data-col-size="md">EV Technician, Service Engineer</td></tr><tr data-start="4551" data-end="4607"><td data-start="4551" data-end="4577" data-col-size="sm">Charging Infrastructure</td><td data-start="4577" data-end="4607" data-col-size="md">Charging System Specialist</td></tr><tr data-start="4608" data-end="4691"><td data-start="4608" data-end="4642" data-col-size="sm">Software-Defined Vehicles(SDV)</td><td data-start="4642" data-end="4691" data-col-size="md">Embedded Engineer, Vehicle Software Developer</td></tr></tbody></table>Each domain contributes to over 20 unique career pathways for EV professionals.<h2 data-start="4785" data-end="4836">Embedded Systems in EV – The Next Big Skillset</h2><blockquote>Ashutosh Dehury shared deep insights into the growing importance of embedded systems in electric vehicles.
