Training First.

About Uday Chobe

One Who Lived It.

Full Story →

Uday Chobe spent over two decades inside some of India's most demanding manufacturing environments, leading HR and employee relations at Volkswagen, Goodyear, Škoda Auto India, Endurance Technologies and Videocon.

He has sat across the table in union negotiations, handled disputes, built compliance systems and developed people from the shop floor to senior management.

In 2020 he founded Universal Consultant to bring that experience to more organisations, mainly through training workshops that change how supervisors, managers and teams work together.
