The electric vehicle (EV) industry is transforming at lightning speed, offering millions of jobs across engineering, manufacturing, software, service, and consulting. To guide learners on how to enter and grow in this fast-moving sector, DIYguru hosted an exclusive Masterclass:
Session Topic: Breaking into EV Tech – Trends, Skills & Opportunities
Date: 30th September 2025
Time: 8:30 PM IST
Speaker: Ayush Sharma, Co-founder & CTO of DIYguru
About the Speaker
Ayush Sharma is the technological visionary behind DIYguru, where he serves as Co-founder & CTO. With a background in nanotechnology, material science, and advanced software development during his research in Germany, Ayush has been instrumental in making DIYguru India’s leading platform for EV upskilling and industry-aligned training. His ability to bridge global research with industry-ready education makes him one of the most sought-after voices in EV careers.
Masterclass Highlights
Learning with Purpose
Ayush emphasized that EV learning must be tied to a career goal — whether landing a job, earning a promotion, or transitioning careers. Without a clear objective, knowledge alone doesn’t lead to employability.
Horizontal vs. Vertical Career Growth
- Horizontal Growth: Diversifying across battery, motors, charging infra, embedded systems, etc.
- Vertical Growth: Building deep specialization in one chosen area.
Learners should align their growth strategy with long-term ambitions.
Delta Skills — The Differentiators
Ayush introduced the concept of “delta skills” — unique strengths that set professionals apart:
- Organic Delta: Skills you naturally enjoy (e.g., MATLAB, CAD).
- Forced Delta: Skills developed due to demand (e.g., embedded systems, ARM Cortex).
Every EV professional should build at least two deltas to stand out in hiring.
Key EV Domains & Opportunities
Ayush mapped critical EV domains with immense scope:
- Battery Systems (cell, module, pack, thermal management, BMS)
- Motor Technology & Powertrain
- Charging Infrastructure
- Embedded Systems & Controllers
- Service & Diagnostics
- Digital Engineering (HIL, SIL, sensor + cloud integration)
- Green Energy Integration (solar, hydrogen)
Programs & Learning Pathways
Ayush highlighted that structured, hands-on learning is the fastest way to bridge gaps between academic knowledge and employability. Explore DIYguru’s flagship EV programs:
- Certified Electric Vehicle Technician (CEVT) — Ideal for technicians & service aspirants.
- Professional Certification in Embedded Systems for EV Engineering — A 3-month program focusing on ARM Cortex, controllers & integration.

Global Outlook & Business Models
Ayush also highlighted international opportunities in Dubai & Saudi Arabia, where EV service, repair, and training demand is rising. DIYguru is actively exploring collaborations and service center partnerships in these regions.
Non-engineers too can tap into EV business, consulting, and managerial roles, especially in operations, service networks, and B2B collaborations.
