"We consider our employees as our most valuable asset and are committed to provide full encouragement and support to them, to enhance their potential and contribution to the Company's business" - From Ashok Leyland's value statement..

We are close to 12,000 people, moulding and managing technology. And reaching the benefits of technology to our customers. Offering transport solutions and after-market support wherever our products operate - which is almost everywhere.



We are spread throughout India, and even outside India. Our tasks vary, so do our skills. But we are bound together by a healthy chain of interdependence, to deliver value to the customer.

Functional Distribution of Executives



We are committed to maintaining our technological leadership. We manage this through continuous learning. So that we can master ever-evolving technologies. And meet changing customer needs.

Understandably, a career with Ashok Leyland offers a lifetime of learning.

Structured training programmes address the needs of workmen, apprentices, graduate engineering trainees, executives in the managerial levels for knowledge and skills upgradation, computerization, attitudinal changes, self-development, supervisory and managerial skills orientation to new technologies as also requirements specific to various functional areas. This breadth is reflected in the comprehensive annual training calendar.

Annually, five executive days are invested in training.

Besides nominations to external training programmes in IIMs, ASCI Hyderabad and other Indian and international institutions of repute, Ashok Leyland also has arrangements for ongoing distant learning and residential programmes with management institutes. An instance is the modular programme for marketing executives developed in collaboration with TA Pai Management Institute, Manipal.
