Dedication to geometry and physics at 15 years old laid the foundation for his precision and analytical thinking, shaping him into a skilled competitor on international stages by the age of 33. Rakshit Shastry leaves nothing to chance when he readies his pistol, takes aim, and focuses intently on his target. In our second edition of ‘Meet the Boschlers,’ we are excited to share the journey of Rakshit, a pistol shooting champion and Assistant Manager in Purchasing Project Management at Bosch Automotive Electronics India, for whom "setting targets" goes far beyond the usual business goals. Over nearly a decade-long athletic career, Rakshit has experienced the thrill of outshooting a seasoned Olympic competitor on his home turf, while also nurturing a deep ambition to one day represent his country at the Olympics. Since his debut in 2015, Rakshit has amassed an impressive 90+ medals and studded his lapel with a flurry of international achievements – including a Silver at the International Shooting Championship of Hanover, Germany in 2019, and three Bronze medals at the 51st Liberation Cup at Plzen, Czech Republic in 2023. Holding the #1 rank in the state leaderboards since 2016, he also stands out as the only marksman from Karnataka, India, to earn the prestigious "Renowned Shot" certification in all five pistol events at the 65th and 66th National Championships, and to win the decorated All India GV Mavlankar Medal for multiple events, including a national recognition in novice shooting. “Unlike other sporting events, where a boost of adrenaline can help you do more, in shooting, the same can hamper your performance. You need to stay calm, composed, and steady your hand to strike the goal,” explains Rakshit. With his sights set on upcoming international competitions, he knows that being a champion marksman requires rigorous training. For him, it means reserving just one evening a week for family while committing to intense 12-hour training sessions over the weekends. On weekdays, he seamlessly shifts from the role of a Purchasing Project Manager from 9 to 6, to that of a focused sharpshooter from 6 to 8. His advice for aspiring shooters and professionals alike: "Never underestimate the power of passion and persistence. Whether you are in the office or out on the field, it is your dedication that will set you apart. Remember to never stay stray off the course, no matter the challenges. And most importantly, enjoy the journey you embark on!” We are pleased to have had the opportunity to share Rakshit’s incredible journey with our readers. If you are looking for more stories of inspiration, stay tuned for real-life tales that embody grit, perseverance, and the spirit of determination. #MeetTheBoschlers #InspiringJourneys #WorkLifeBalance #TrueLifeStories #HealthAndWellbeing #EmployeeSpotlight #Achievements #BoschAssociates

A founder. A leader. A visionary. On his 163rd birth anniversary, we honor the spirit of our founder, Robert Bosch – an innovator and pioneer in the field of engineering and technology, and a steadfast pillar of kindness and generosity, whose wisdom and actions have been the lifeblood of our organization for over 130 years. “I would rather lose money than trust,” one of his most celebrated quotes is a mirror-image of the man himself. From influencing the upheaval of a social structure that pivoted towards viewing “wage-earners” as a cog in the machine, Bosch strongly advocated for individual agency through the revolutionary concept of “associates, not employees,” and apprenticeship programs that identified the right talents and provided them opportunities. A first for his time, he championed for inclusivity and extensive benefits for his associates, who lovingly referred to him as “Father Bosch.” A nature lover and dedicated philanthropist, Bosch has never shied away from vocalizing his opinions on matters of social significance, much beyond the workplace. Watch this video for a glimpse into the life and times of Robert Bosch, who redefined company culture and continues to inspire value systems across generations, even today.   #RobertBosch #Innovator #Legacy #Philanthropy #Inclusivity #SocialChange #Inspiration #CompanyCulture

Teachers play a pivotal role in shaping our futures. They spark curiosity, nurture critical thinking, and instill lifelong values, helping individuals unlock their full potential. Their influence reaches far beyond the classroom, making them essential to both personal growth and societal progress. This raises an important discussion about how quality education is driven by skilled trainers who hold the power to shape young minds. Since 1961, the Bosch Vocational Center in Bengaluru has trained over 5,000 apprentices, laying a strong foundation for skill development. Building on this legacy, for the past 11 years, we have continued our commitment to enhancing youth employability and empowerment through CSR initiatives and the Bosch India Foundation. A key initiative, the Bosch India Foundation's 'Training the Trainers' program, has mentored over 4,500 trainers, and together with programs like BRIDGE (Bosch's Response to India's Development and Growth through Employability Enhancement), BIF has been actively bridging the gap between current curricula and essential 21st century skills, promoting lifelong experiential learning and enhanced teaching methodology, soft skills, inclusivity, diversity, and creating a supportive network. Moreover, 40 government schoolteachers and government’s education department officials went through rigorous training program involving multiple workshops, thus benefiting nearly 1,348 students as of present. To further bridge the information gap in rural areas, we have established community development centers across 4 states, empowering over 1,500 women and youth. Additionally, our NGO programs have upskilled over 1,000 representatives in the past four years. On the occasion of Teachers’ Day, we extend our deepest appreciation and gratitude to the tutors who continue to inspire future generations of leaders. #TeachersDay #Education #SkillDevelopment #EmpoweringTeachers
