The company has successfully trained over 1 lakh youth through multiple hands-on skilling initiatives and innovative partnerships, building a solid foundation for a skilled, future-ready workforce.
Recognizing the enormous employment potential in India’s booming construction and real estate sectors—projected to create 30 million jobs by 2030—Pidilite is taking proactive steps to align with this growth by upskilling youth in relevant technical and creative trades.

Pidilite’s skilling efforts span a wide spectrum of trades including plumbing, waterproofing, woodworking, organic farming, construction, art & craft, interior design, and home décor. These initiatives are not just about training—they aim to empower youth with real-world, job-ready skills, particularly in underserved and semi-urban areas.
Nation-Building Through Skills
Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Sudhanshu Vats, Managing Director of Pidilite Industries, stated:
“At Pidilite, we believe that skilling is not just a bridge to employment—it is the backbone of nation-building. As we move towards India@100 in 2047, our focus is on equipping the youth with practical skills and future-ready knowledge. Whether it’s through our partnerships with ITIs, our advanced skill centres, or our latest digital platform—Pidilite Bonding Expert—our mission is to empower individuals, strengthen industry connections, and foster inclusive growth.”

Specialized Training for the Construction Sector
Pidilite’s Dr. Fixit Institute plays a pivotal role in training professionals in the construction industry. The institute offers targeted waterproofing courses to contractors, engineers, painters, and applicators. These programs not only enhance technical skills but also strengthen the country’s push toward high-performance, sustainable infrastructure.
In addition, Pidilite’s creative arm—the Fevicryl Arts & Crafts Division—supports skill development through programs that train hobbyists to become certified Fevicryl Specialists. Many go on to conduct paid workshops, turning their creative passion into full-fledged careers.
