Rockwell Automation Collaborates with Axtel to Modernize Chocolate Moulding Line and Spice Blending Processes
15 July, 2025: Rockwell Automation, Inc., the world’s largest company dedicated to industrial automation and digital transformation, has worked with Axtel Industries Limited, a specialist in engineering process systems for the food & beverage industry, to upgrade its’s chocolate moulding and spice processing systems. By integrating Rockwell’s innovative motion and process control systems, safety, and advanced diagnostics solutions, Axtel has achieved greater precision, efficiency, and consistency in chocolate moulding line and spice processing, while improving safety and sustainability.
Axtel developed a fully automated chocolate moulding line using Rockwell Automation’s Kinetix® 5700 servo drives and Integrated Architecture® safety solution. For spice mixing solution, it leveraged Rockwell’s advanced ControlLogix® processor and PlantPAx® system to create fully automated ingredient management system.
Speaking about the relationship, Ajay Desai, executive director, Axtel Industries, said: “In the last 30 years Axtel and Rockwell Automation have collaborated on countless projects and provided sustainable automation solutions to customers. We continue to invest robustly in such technologies and shall continue doing so in future.”
Dilip Sawhney, managing director, Rockwell Automation India, added: “We always strive to empower our customers to innovate and achieve excellence. We value our longstanding relationship with Axtel and applaud their success in developing world-class machines.”
For operational excellence, Axtel leveraged Rockwell’s Integrated Architecture® consisting of GuardLink® 2.0 and Kinetix® 5700 servo drives system to enhance safety and efficiency. As a result, Axtel achieved the PLd Safety Performance Level in its manufacturing solutions. This accomplishment has made Axtel-manufactured machines and process plants safer and more sustainable.
The traditional process automation technology used by Axtel had limited capabilities, where different stock-keeping units (SKUs) were required from a single chocolate moulding line. This complex chocolate moulding processes, which involve filling and book moulding, for multiple SKUs on single moulding line required high levels of accuracy, precision, and efficiency.
In spice processing, Axtel had a need for enhanced reporting capability as the evolving market dynamics demanded a better compliance, operational efficiency, quality control, and safety. With the fully automated ingredient management system, managing multiple ingredients, including small and micro, while ensuring data integrity has significantly supported the manufacturing process for spice processors. This automation has improved both precision and efficiency, enhancing the quality and consistency of the final product.

Standard Chartered partners with Sambhav Foundation to empower over 5000 Youth for New-Age Skills and Employment
15 July 2025, India — On the occasion of World Youth Skills Day, Standard Chartered, under its flagship community initiative Futuremakers, has announced its partnership with Sambhav Foundation to equip 5,160 young Indians with cutting-edge skills in emerging sectors. The initiative focuses on specialised training in – Electric Vehicles (EV), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Cybersecurity, and Data Analytics — industries that are shaping the jobs of tomorrow.
The three-year project, which has just commenced has been rolled out across centres in Noida, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, and Tinsukia (Doom Dooma, Assam), with a strong emphasis on preparing youth for sustainable, high-demand career opportunities. The programme also offers job placement support, ensuring that participants can seamlessly transition into meaningful employment in these sectors.
As India emerges as a global hub for technology and green innovation, addressing the skills gap is essential to ensure that the youth are job-ready rather than merely job-seeking. Initiatives focused on such skill development in high-growth areas like EV and AI are therefore crucial. By equipping them with relevant, in-demand skills, especially in major economic centres, such initiatives not only meet immediate workforce needs but also drive long-term, inclusive economic growth.
This initiative marks Standard Chartered’s renewal of its existing partnership with Sambhav Foundation to equip underserved youth with employable skills. In the earlier phase, 2,280 individuals were trained in sectors such as BFSI, Tally, and Data Analysis. Similarly, the Bank, late last year, had signed another partnership with GTT foundation to train 613 youth across Karnataka, Delhi, Maharashtra and West Bengal in the EV sector.
Additionally, under the Bank’s Futuristic Employability initiative – delivered in collaboration with various NGOs and skilling partners – so far, 51,195 candidates between the ages of 18 – 35 have been successfully trained in future-ready skills, with strong placement rates across reputed organisations. Notably, 26,142 (51%) of those trained are women.
Karuna Bhatia, Head of Sustainability, India, at Standard Chartered Bank & Global Business Services, said, “At Standard Chartered, through our focused community initiative Futuremakers, we are committed to driving economic inclusion and sustainability by empowering youth with relevant skills to navigate our rapidly changing world. Through this initiative, we are training these youth with the skills of tomorrow and support them with suitable placements on completion of their respective training tenures. By equipping individuals with these in-demand skills, particularly in major economic hubs, we can address immediate industry needs and enhance the long-term employability of vulnerable youth, fostering sustainable economic growth.”
Standard Chartered, under its Futuremakers programme, is focussed on driving economic inclusion and sustainability through education, employability, and entrepreneurship initiatives. It is designed with the objective of providing industry-relevant, market-led future skills training and job opportunities through career academies, to youth, with a focus on women and differently abled individuals. Futuremakers is committed to scaling its impact by fostering partnerships, expanding skill development programmes, and creating sustainable livelihood opportunities for underserved communities.
