Explaining the firm's interest only in IITians, Mr Bhatia said, "We understand and know how to motivate an IITian. We share a bond: this helps in the work environment." He said that most IITians have an urge to work, sometimes even without sleep. The company understands and encourages this attitude, acknowledging the effort by each contributor.

andustry academia research partnerships a powerful way to upgrade talent base (April 30,2007)
Amit Patra (IIT Kharagpur), Sham Banerjee (Texas Instruments), Rajinder Khare (Indian Semiconductor Association) HP Khincha (IISc Banglore), Alok Jain (Cadence), Harsh Parikh (Infineon), Karthik S (Analog Devices) share their views on Industry academia interface in an article in EE Times.
One way it would provide the focus is through precise definition of the research problem, drawing from its fund of experience with markets and their requirements. This will ensure sure that the research done is useful, relevant, and applicable in real life.
"There is a wholly different dimension to industry academia research collaboration. Industry can view research as a vehicle for talent generation in India's universities. When universities work on leading edge research, the students in those universities will be exposed to real life problems," Karthik explained.

July 27, 2004, Bangalore: Infosys Technologies (Nasdaq: INFY) today announced the launch of Campus Connect, an industry-academia partnership initiative. The program aims to deepen the industry-academia relationship, and create a strong foundation for the emerging knowledge economy in India. The nation-wide program focuses on aligning the needs of engineering colleges, the faculty and students with the needs of the industry, thus preparing "industry-ready" professionals. Infosys will invest about Rs 10 crore in this program.
The first set of initiatives within the Campus Connect umbrella is already underway. The Faculty Enablement Program shares Infosys' educational experiences and best practices with faculty from various engineering colleges. The Faculty Enablement Program, kick-started in Mysore and Pune in July 2004. Approximately 40 faculty members from 19 institutes participated in the fortnight long session covering areas like computer hardware and system software, programming fundamentals and management systems, among others. A roll out of this will follow across all other Infosys Development Centers.
academia industry partnership
As it is said, no venture is a single-handed effort of any one individual. In the age of competitive edges and multi-skill requirements, candidates often fall short of demanding industry expectations. Thus, companies feel the pinch of talent shortage. Graduating from premier institutes does not give a guarantee of being adept with working conditions of the corporate world. Classroom knowledge takes a backseat in the era of experiential learning, and so do internships that fade away in comparison to sweating it out in the office 24/7, literally speaking. Industry-academia partnership is the only way forward in a knowledge economy with a vast manpower resource of educated people who do not possess the right employable skills.
