When Industry Meets Academia, Everyone Learns.
The role of industry–academia collaboration has never been more important than it is today.
As AI becomes increasingly accessible and powerful, the challenge is not simply to teach students how to use AI tools. It is to ensure they have the strong domain knowledge, critical thinking and contextual understanding to know where, why and how to apply AI effectively and responsibly.
That is why conversations between industry and academia matter.
We were delighted to be part of Anugrahit ’26 – Recruiters’ Meet, hosted by IBS – ICFAI Business School, Pune, with our senior leaders Madhuri Shinde and Prajakta Kolte representing QLB Marketing Insights and TechNavik Solutions.
Our association with IBS goes back 7–8 years, through internships, final placements and continued industry–academia engagement.It has always been a pleasure to work with the institution and, equally importantly, to have an academic partner that is willing to listen to industry, exchange perspectives and evolve with the changing needs of the workplace.
As businesses and technology continue to change rapidly, we believe the strongest talent will emerge when academic foundations and real-world industry exposure come together.
Thank you, IBS, for continuing to give us a seat at the table and for creating spaces where these conversations can happen.
The future of talent isn’t built by academia or industry alone. It is built together.
