“ I am Apurv Upadhye, Manager- Climate Control System, Jaguar Land Rover, and a learner of the e-Postgraduate Diploma (ePGD) in E- Mobility by IIT Bombay.
Over my 24-year career engineering vehicle systems for icons like Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen, I have mastered legacy automotive design. But technology is moving at lightning speed toward electrification. If I want my children to be resilient and fearless in a changing world, I cannot stand still. My ultimate inspiration to keep learning is to show them that no matter how much expertise you accumulate, a true leader remains a student for life.
The automotive industry is facing its biggest disruption in a century. To stay at the absolute cutting edge of electric vehicles, advanced thermal management, and smart battery systems, I knew I needed to re-engineer my skills at the peak of technical education—IIT Bombay- and hence I enrolled in the e-Postgraduate Diploma (ePGD) in E- Mobility by IIT Bombay.
Balancing a high-stakes corporate engineering job in the UK with rigorous advanced studies was a massive family commitment. When I discussed it with my family, their support was immediate. Their belief in my vision gave me the ultimate energy to take this leap.
The sheer technical depth of the advanced EV powertrain, battery, power electronics, and thermal management modules is unmatched. At IIT Bombay, you aren't just looking at high-level trends; you are diving into the core physics, mathematical modeling, and engineering realities of electric mobility. The faculty brings an incredible blend of academic genius and industrial relevance. Collaborating with an elite, technically sharp cohort to solve complex electrification challenges was an extraordinary experience.
The program completely supercharged my technical trajectory. The specialized mastery I gained from IIT Bombay took my 24 years of legacy experience and immediately turned me into a next-generation EV leader. It directly sharpened my capability to drive advanced electric vehicle thermal roadmaps. The validation of the IIT Bombay brand has completely solidified my positioning as a premier cross-border engineering leader for global OEM and Tier-1 operations.
One piece of advice I would give to other professionals who are considering upskilling but are hesitant to take the first step, especially those balancing family responsibilities and career aspirations, is to not let the comfort of your past expertise stop you from building your future legacy.
The engineering world does not wait for anyone. It is easy to use family or career demands as an excuse to delay your growth. But remember, your children need your example. When they see you balancing a complex career while studying at an elite institution like IIT Bombay, you teach them an unforgettable lesson about ambition and lifelong dedication. Take the first step.”
