Head of Partnerships Ecosystem

In this pivotal role, you will connect universities, industry leaders, government bodies, and nonprofits to build regional “Innovation Clusters.” Your primary goal will be to design semester-long, credit-bearing apprenticeships where students tackle real-world industry challenges, directly supporting the “Make in India” mission.
