SAP Labs India Reinforces Partnership with PSGiTech in a Boost for Industry-Centric Education and Research
Continuing its voyage towards blending academic ingenuity with cutting-edge technological research, SAP Labs India has rekindled its partnership with PSG Institute of Technology and Applied Research (PSGiTech), Coimbatore, by renewing their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This collaboration, set for another two years, emphasizes SAP Labs India’s strategic engagement with the academic circle, aiming to enrich student knowledge with real-world industry exposure, collaborative research, and innovation centered around SAP technologies.
The alliance between SAP Labs India and PSGiTech is not just about extending industry knowledge to students but also incorporates rigorous engagement through various initiatives. These initiatives range from hackathons aimed at solving current industry challenges to enriching knowledge-sharing sessions spearheaded by the Research Engagement and Collaboration Hub (REACH) initiated by SAP Labs India. The collaboration goes further to include co-authoring academic literature and orchestrating expert-led discussions on mutually interesting topics.
Sindhu Gangadharan, the seasoned Managing Director of SAP Labs India, and an esteemed Vice Chairperson at Nasscom, comments on the importance of this partnership: “In the quest for innovation, collaborations like these are invaluable. They not only provide a platform for budding talents to thrive but also contribute significantly to the technological landscape, shaping the future. With the constant evolution of technology, it’s imperative for students to complement their academic pursuits with direct industry experience and deep technical expertise. Our joint efforts with PSGiTech are designed to unveil and nurture innovative talents, propelling them towards solving real-world challenges and getting future-ready.”
Adding to the perspective, Dr. N Saravanakumar, the Principal at PSGiTech, reflects on the symbiotic nature of this partnership: “This collaboration transcends a mere pact; it’s a confluence of shared goals aimed at pioneering a robust bond between academic prowess and industry finesse. This engagement not only opens doors to avant-garde technologies and industry projects for our students but also firmly plants them on the ground of practical, industry-ready expertise. We’re eager to persist in this venture, aiming to scale technological innovations globally.”
The expanded horizon of this partnership envisions joint workshops aimed at tackling contemporary challenges, paving paths for internships, and project opportunities for students. It also anticipates arrangements for periodic visits to SAP Labs India’s Bangalore campus, bolstering the academic-industry bond. An interesting facet of this collaboration is the Teachers Industry Immersion Program, brilliantly conceived to erode the gap between textbook theories and their industry applications. This initiative is set to arm educators with the adeptness to seamlessly weave SAP’s technological advancements and industry trends into their curriculum, fueling innovation and interest in STEM fields among students.
