Nihar Ranjan Panda’s journey shows how strong technical skills can lead to building a manufacturing business. He began at KIIT, where he completed a Diploma and B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering. This gave him practical, hands-on experience beyond classroom learning.
While training at John Deere, he saw a major problem: many graduates had degrees but lacked real engine and machine-handling skills. To address the issue, he founded Skyy Skill Academy at the KIIT-TBI incubator.
After helping train more than 200,000 students in robotics and EV technology, he took the next step by founding Skyy Rider Electric. Today, he leads a multi-crore EV manufacturing company, turning technical training into industrial innovation.
