She also aims to establish new skill development centres to meet emerging workforce needs, support technology adoption among small and medium enterprises, and promote inclusive participation in the industrial sector, including women and underrepresented groups. Additionally, efforts will be made to facilitate sharing of best practices across states to promote innovation and collective growth.
Singh currently chairs the Group Supervisory Board of the ANAND Group and serves as Executive Chairperson of Gabriel India and Chairperson of Dana Anand India. The Group’s Future Tech division, ANEVOLVE, focuses on clean and sustainable technologies for mobility.
