Context- The synergy between academia and industry is vital for addressing contemporary challenges, driving progress, and ensuring that the workforce is well-prepared for the demands of the future. Academia and industry together can only help shape the next generation of professionals. While industry can provide input on the skills and attributes they seek in graduates, it is  academia that can tailor education to meet those very needs. Ashoka University is proud to nurture and mentor the next generation of responsible leaders for India and the world. In our ongoing commitment to further these endeavors, we are delighted to extend an invitation to organizations for a unique event—- thoughtfully designed to bridge the divide between academia and industry.
