JALANDHAR, May 15: Jalandhar, Broadridge, a leading provider of technology-driven solutions for the financial services industry, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Lovely Professional University (LPU) today, marking the beginning of a strategic industry-academia collaboration. This partnership aims to bridge the gap between industry and academia, equipping students with real-world skills and practical exposure to be industry-ready.
The MoU was signed between Ritu Rakhra, Head of HR, Broadridge India and Dr. Monica Gulati, Registrar, Lovely Professional University. As part of the initiative, Broadridge has introduced a structured Train the Trainer program, where its SMEs mentor LPU faculty to ensure effective knowledge transfer. The program will run for 80-90 hours over 16-17 weeks, with live sessions scheduled every week. The sessions include real-time case studies, interactive workshops, assignments, and pre-shared course materials that faculty can review in advance. Key topics covered in this include Product Management, Agile and SaFe, DevOps & SRE, Cloud & DevOps, and Cybersecurity.
"At Broadridge, we believe that bridging the gap between industry and academia is essential to developing future-ready talent," said Sheenam Ohrie, Managing Director, Broadridge India. "Our collaboration with Lovely Professional University is a significant step in this direction, equipping students with real-world insights and hands-on experience in emerging technologies. By leveraging the expertise of our industry leaders, we aim to empower educators and, in turn, create a highly skilled workforce. This partnership allows us to share our expertise and insights, ensuring that students are well-prepared to excel in an evolving technological landscape."
Broadridge is working closely with LPU to enhance the curriculum based on faculty feedback, incorporating specialized areas such as Infrastructure as Code, DevSecOps, and Cloud Performance Management, amongst others. This specialized curriculum provides students with in-depth knowledge of financial technology, combining hands-on case studies, industry workshops, and interactive Q&A sessions to equip them for real-world challenges.
"This collaboration with Broadridge strengthens Edurevolution; LPU's initiative to revolutionize higher education through practical learning and profound industry integration," said Dr. Ashok Kumar Mittal, Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Founder Chancellor of LPU. "Through structured training of faculty by industry experts, the focus is on ensuring that students gain not just conceptual knowledge but contextual understanding. The vision is to develop future-ready graduates of technically skilled, adaptable, and purpose-driven professionals equipped to thrive in a rapidly evolving world."
After completing the training, faculty members will receive Training Completion Certificates. They will then conduct a bootcamp in June and July 2025 to equip the 2026 graduating batch with industry-ready skills by August 2025. From 2027 onwards, these specialized topics will be incorporated into LPU's B.Tech curriculum as four elective courses under an Open Minor program, with students taking one course per semester from their fifth semester onward.
