Pune Hosts India's Largest EV and Automotive Hiring Drive
Over 1,000 pre-screened candidates will meet more than 30 hiring companies at Ajeenkya DY Patil University in Pune on 4-5 July 2026 for the Bharat eMobility Recruitathon, India's largest dedicated electric vehicle and automotive hiring drive. The event, organised by DIYguru Mobility Pvt. Ltd., offers on-the-spot interviews and offers, with free entry for both candidates and companies.
Event Details and Scale
The two-day drive aims to fill over 150 open positions across the EV and automotive sector. Roles are available at every level, from ITI and diploma technicians to fresh B.E./B.Tech engineers and experienced EV professionals. Companies will conduct face-to-face interviews and extend offers on the spot, compressing a typical 45-60 day hiring cycle into a single weekend.
India's EV transition is creating jobs faster than the workforce can fill them. The country is projected to need over 500,000 EV professionals by 2030, against an estimated 150,000-180,000 working in EV roles today. The India Skills Report 2026 finds that more than half of the country's engineering graduates remain unemployable. The Recruitathon is designed to bridge that gap, channeling job-ready, industry-trained talent directly to employers.
Curated Talent Pool and Participating Companies
The curated talent pool includes ITI and diploma technicians, B.Tech and B.E. engineers, and experienced working professionals making the switch from internal-combustion to electric mobility, with 3-15 years of experience. Every candidate has completed hands-on coursework in battery technology, EV diagnostics, powertrain design and high-voltage safety through DIYguru's AICTE- and ASDC-certified programmes, and arrives with a verified EV skill score.
Confirmed companies hiring on the floor include Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Tata Tele Business Services, BGauss Auto, Gravton Motors, NBS International, LabourNet and Prevalent Automotive, with more joining ahead of the event.
Roles and Salary Ranges
Open roles span Graduate and Diploma Engineer Trainees, battery and BMS engineers, manufacturing and quality engineers, EV service and diagnostics technicians, and field and sales roles. Indicative packages run from ₹2.4-4.5 LPA for ITI and diploma profiles and ₹4-6 LPA for B.E./B.Tech graduates, rising to ₹10-18 LPA and above for experienced ICE-to-EV professionals.
Statements from Key Organisers
Dr. Ajeenkya D. Y. Patil, Chancellor and President of Ajeenkya DY Patil University, Pune, said: "Electric mobility is more than an industry shift, it is a technological revolution that is redefining how the world moves, connects, and innovates. As educators, our responsibility goes beyond preparing students for the jobs of tomorrow; it is about empowering them to become the innovators, engineers, entrepreneurs, and leaders who will shape the future of mobility."
Avinash Singh, Founder and CEO of DIYguru Mobility Pvt. Ltd., added: "India's EV industry is scaling faster than its talent pipeline. The move to electric mobility is more than an industry shift -- it is a technological and economic revolution, and one that will ultimately be built by people. Companies today don't just need more resumes; they need skilled, EV-ready professionals who can contribute from day one."
What to Expect on the Floor
Across the two days, the venue will feature on-the-spot interviews and live offer announcements, hands-on technical-assessment stations for EV roles, live skill workshops in EV diagnostics, battery testing and high-voltage safety, an upskilling and certification expo, and a closing session with placement announcements.
