YASH Technologies at the nexus of academia, industry, and technology, ET Education

YASH Technologies participated in two exciting events hosted by The Economic Times, which were a confluence of academia and industry. YASH brought its expertise, vision, and technological prowess to the forefront, playing a key role in driving conversations around the future of higher education and the crucial intersection of academia, industry, and technology.

The EdNXT Pune conference, themed “Building a Skilled Nation with Tech-Powered Education,” explored the evolving dynamics of academic collaboration and the role of technology in driving educational excellence. During his inaugural address, MVR Kumar, Business Head at YASH, eloquently reflected on the evolution of India’s education sector and YASH Technologies’ role in bridging the gap between industry and academia. He articulated the exponential growth of technology, emphasising the paradigm shift from a linear partnership to a triad that includes technology providers as critical enablers of innovation. This vision resonated throughout the event and reinforced YASH’s contribution to creating integrated ecosystems that address the nuanced needs of modern educational institutions.

Building on the momentum, InspirEd Bengaluru brought the brightest minds together under the theme “- Inspiration to Innovation: Pioneering the Future of Education.” The event set the stage for thought leaders, educators, and industry professionals to discuss higher education’s vision, challenges, and opportunities.

YASH Technologies demonstrated strong leadership during the inaugural session, where Nalinikanth Josyabhatla, Vice President at YASH, gave an engaging speech on the importance of collaboration within the educational ecosystem. He highlighted how government policies have made these collaborations more favorable and emphasised the need for incubation and nurturing to support such initiatives.

At both events, Aatish Shukla, SAP HER Practice Head, shared experiences driving conversations on future-ready campuses. At EdNxt Pune, Shukla’s contributions to the mega-panel, “Reimagining Academia-Industry Collaborations: Building Stronger Partnerships for Better Employability,” brought real-world insights into embedding technology into institutional frameworks to cultivate graduates capable of driving innovation in a rapidly changing world. At InspirEd Bengaluru, his keynote accentuated how digitization can address institutional challenges, help them become agile, harness technology-enabled solutions, and enhance academic and operational efficiency while preparing students for the future.The YASH booth at both events became a hub for discussions with academic leaders, industry experts, and technologists on how educational institutions can transform and become future-ready. These interactions served as an excellent platform for exchanging ideas on digitalization, employability, and the future of education.

Together, EDNXT Pune and InspirEd Bengaluru reflected a shared vision—one where collaboration, innovation, and technology converge to drive the future of education. Both events highlighted the need to reinvent existing ideas and practices to meet today’s challenges.

As these events concluded, one sentiment was strong—India’s education sector is at the cusp of a significant transformation. Partnerships like those facilitated by YASH Technologies with leading institutions and academia drive this change, scripting a new narrative for higher education that is progressive, resilient, and equipped for tomorrow.
