Woxsen University Partners with IBM for Industry Calibrated Academic Programs
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 9: Woxsen University has entered into a strategic MoU with IBM India Private Limited, an academic-industry collaboration poised to reshape the way business and technology education converge.
The five-year alliance spans the School of Business and School of Technology, with direct impact on the MBA (Business Analytics) and BBA (Data Science & Artificial Intelligence) programs. It introduces a unified learning framework where students across disciplines engage with enterprise-level tools and frameworks aligned with global business standards.
"Our partnership with IBM is not an add-on. It is a structural shift in how we envision higher education. By embedding enterprise-grade tools and certifications into the DNA of our curriculum, we are placing Woxsen students on the same technological footing as professionals in Fortune 500 companies. This alliance breaks down the traditional silos between business and technology education, enabling a business analyst to speak the language of AI and a data scientist to understand market strategy. This collaboration ensures our graduates are ready from day one and are equipped to lead with technological fluency, strategic sharpness and global agility." -- Dr. Raul Villamarin Rodriguez, Vice President, Woxsen University.
Through this collaboration, students gain structured access to IBM's suite of technologies, including artificial intelligence, blockchain, and advanced analytics platforms. Each participant receives globally acknowledged IBM certifications, embedded directly into academic delivery.
IBM's subject matter experts will engage closely with Woxsen's faculty to co-deliver training grounded in current industry practices and use cases. The pedagogical approach emphasizes applied learning, ensuring students build competencies that hold relevance from the outset of their careers.
The partnership further facilitates an integrated innovation environment. Students from business analytics, data science, and artificial intelligence work in interdisciplinary cohorts, reflecting the collaborative dynamics of modern enterprises. This environment enables learners to build strategic insight alongside technical acumen, equipping them to contribute meaningfully to technology led initiatives.
With curriculum co-developed alongside IBM and aligned with industry frameworks, graduates transition into the workforce with minimal adjustment. The alliance also strengthens career trajectories through IBM's extensive professional network, creating pathways for internships and early placements.
This initiative reflects the alignment of Woxsen'sinternational recognition with rankings from QS, Bloomberg, and IIRF and IBM's longstanding presence at the intersection of business and technology. The partnership brings together two institutions committed to cultivating leaders who understand both commercial imperatives and technological evolution.
The MoU introduces a dynamic structure for continuous academic enrichment, responsive to technological change and market demand. In an increasingly complex global business environment, this collaboration signals Woxsen's intent to prepare its students not only to participate in the digital economy, but to shape it.

FPOs must harness tech to boost farm income: Collector
Tirupati: District Collector Dr S Venkateswar urged Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs) to embrace modern technology to maximise income and transform agriculture into a profitable venture. Speaking at a review meeting at the Collectorate on Thursday, he said the administration was actively working to support FPOs by facilitating access to bank loans and subsidies to procure advanced agricultural machinery. The Collector said that FPOs should fully utilise government schemes and policies to drive their growth. 'We will take appropriate measures based on a clear understanding of FPO operations and their needs,' he assured. Calling for coordinated action from all departments, he stressed the goal of making farming a viable livelihood for farmers. A key highlight of the meeting was the emphasis on the use of drones and other smart technologies to enhance agricultural productivity. Dr Venkateswar noted the need to diversify cropping patterns, encouraging farmers to cultivate millets in addition to traditional crops. He noted that horticulture crops were currently generating higher returns than traditional agriculture, and instructed officials to ensure both sectors are equally remunerative. As part of a broader push towards tech-driven farming, the Collector announced workshops for agriculture and allied department officials on emerging tools like Agri Stack and Artificial Intelligence (AI). He explained that Agri Stack was a unified digital repository that integrates key datasets such as farmer registries, geo-referenced village maps, and crop sown data. These datasets, unified through the Unified Farmer Service Interface, can be securely accessed by banks, insurance companies, agri-tech firms and government agencies. 'AI, when integrated with these datasets, has the power to radically transform farming practices,' he said, citing applications like multilingual chatbots, precision farming tools, real-time analytics, and image-based pest and disease diagnostics. He also unveiled a new mobile interface named APAIMS, designed to serve as a one-stop digital platform for farmers. This interface provides a host of services, including pest alerts through crop photo mapping and relevant spray recommendations. Joint Collector Shubham Bansal, District Agriculture Officer S Prasad Rao, District Horticulture Officer B Dasharatha Rami Reddy, Animal Husbandry Officer A Ravi Kumar and other senior officials attended the meeting.

Quantum India Summit 2025: India must build labs, train talent to stay in Quantum tech race, says Nobel Laureate Duncan Haldane
Bengaluru: Even as quantum computing continues to be a work in progress, countries like India must not wait on the sidelines, said Nobel-winning physicist Prof Duncan Haldane. Delivering a keynote address at the Quantum India Summit 2025, titled "The Modern Quantum Mechanics is 100 Years Old; Why All the Excitement Today," the Princeton professor and 2016 Physics Nobel Laureate said the future of quantum technology won't be shaped by govts and large corporations alone, but also by smaller players, who focus on real-world, niche applications like quantum sensing. Haldane said while full-scale quantum computers are still being developed by the likes of IBM, Google, and national labs, the immediate opportunity lies in areas like high-precision magnetic sensing, brain imaging, AI-powered geolocation, and even gravitational field mapping.

Sensors based on quantum principles are already being used in real applications. These are not just for computing — they are changing how we sense the world around us," said Haldane. Encouraging countries like India and its states to seize this moment, Haldane said smaller players can make a big impact by identifying niche sensor applications. But to fully participate in this second quantum revolution, he stressed, govts must invest in building a strong foundation of science education and fundamental research. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If you have a mouse, play this game for 1 minute Navy Quest Undo He said: "Govts need quantum-literate researchers, trained in vibrant universities doing world-class science." He urged Indian policymakers to invest in top-tier laboratories and training institutions, noting that young people need to see real science happening around them in order to be inspired. Haldane also outlined what he called the three essential communities that must come together to make quantum technology a success: physicists and theorists, who build models and conceptual systems; materials scientists and engineers, who turn those ideas into physical devices; and entrepreneurs, who assess the commercial potential and take the leap to build them. Haldane said the quantum future will belong to those countries that invest not just in tech, but in people — scientists, students, and risk-taking innovators.
