For B Prabhakaran, Managing Director of Lloyds Metals and Director of Lloyds Infinite Foundation, employment is not merely job creation — it is dignity, stability, and social confidence. This belief has guided one of the largest grassroots skill and employment movements in Gadchiroli.
Under leadership-driven initiatives, over 3,000 local youth have been trained across practical roles such as welding, electrical work, driving, nursing, firefighting, and mechanical operations, with direct absorption into active industrial projects. Today, more than 10,000 people are employed across Lloyds operations, with 62% belonging to Gadchiroli, sharply reducing migration from the district.
Women-led transformation stands out strongly. Through focused skilling, women now operate HMV/LMV vehicles, dumpers, security roles, and core industrial functions. In parallel, the Lloyds Vanya Clothing Co. garment unit employs 150+ tribal women from 32 villages, producing 6,000+ garments sold nationwide, creating steady household incomes.
These outcomes reflect how B Prabhakaran Managing Director Lloyds Metals aligns industrial growth with human development. Lloyds Infinite Foundation enables these interventions by structuring training, placement, and long-term workforce integration
