Academic institutions therefore must push themselves to align their curriculum to the skills expected by the Industry and promote applied learning, to help students make meaningful contributions to the business and society at large.
We are spearheading with our mission ‘To innovate & transform the conventional educational processes through application of knowledge, research and industry feedback to further scale up community benefit.’ These are precisely the contributing factors to our growth. We are humbled to have been recognized for our efforts on two recent occasions, by Hon’ble Minister, Shri K.T. Rama Rao who mentioned that Woxsen University is no less than leading universities in the West and then with the ‘Excellence in Education’ award by Hon’ble MP, Shri Suresh Prabhu.
I would highlight two major catalysts that are gathering impetus globally A) The Perpetual advancement in technology that will drive future careers and B) The need for applied and immersive learning. The increased adoption of technology by industries across domains have called for academic institutions to produce professionals who embody resilience and can embrace change in this in this VUCA world. Academic institutions therefore must push themselves to align their curriculum to the skills expected by the Industry and promote applied learning, to help students make meaningful contributions to the business and society at large.
Woxsen University has always been sensitive to the industry expectations from management students and hence has been on top of the minds of leading corporate for their talent needs. Students are aligned to the changing dynamics of business through immersive learning and global exposure.

The emphasis for Woxsen University has always been about introducing rich avenues towards Industry-academia collaboration for all the stake holders, be it students, faculty, or research scholars. From industry endorsed curriculum, curriculum modules delivered by industry experts, apprenticeships, live-projects and Industry interactions, we have ensured close proximity on all fronts. Woxsen’s Trade Tower, the incubation centre has been strategically designed to acquaint students to the best industry practices. The platform provides direct interaction with leaders of organizations from successful start-ups, Unicorns to the ones amongst the fortune 500s. In the recent engagement in our flagship event called ‘My First Billion’ series, we had invited Mr. Nandan Reddy, co-founder of Swiggy for a fire-side chat.
My journey of 2 decades has given me new perspectives that I’ve diligently imbibed in my way of life, both on the professional front and as an individual. My message to the young readers is to ‘DREAM‘…
