Hughes Communications India, (HCIL), a subsidiary of Hughes Network Systems (Hughes) has bagged a project from Maruti Suzuki to facilitate Maruti Suzuki with a digital training academy incorporating satellite broadband technology, to provide 'live' training across their distribution chain including company factories and offices, as well as key dealer outlets.

As part of the partnership, Hughes will provide the studio integration at the Maruti Training Academy, classroom integration at the regional training offices, and set up the interactive delivery platform through a high-powered Ku- band satellite network. The training sessions will be conducted from a centralised studio at Maruti Suzuki's Gurgaon plant to over 30 locations across India. Training programmes will include technical, commercial, HR, and product module sessions.

Training sessions will be offered through the Hughes Interactive Onsite Learning (IOL) platform, the platform allows Maruti's trainers to have high quality, interactive, real-time and two-way engagement with dispersed participants across the most remote locations individually or simultaneously.
