PUNE, India, Dec. 24, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — MIT Centre for Future Skills Excellence, MIT Art, Design and Technology University teams up with AI Beehive to jointly run the Post Graduate Diploma in Data Science. Analysts predict that India will have more than 11 million job openings by 2026. A Memorandum of Understanding was signed on December 23, 2021, between AI Beehive & MIT ADT University to cater to tech enthusiasts who wish to grab this golden opportunity and boost their careers to the next level.

MIT Art, Design & Technology University, under its MIT Centre for Future Skills Excellence (MIT-FuSE) initiative, has introduced emerging technologies like Data Science, AI & ML, Cloud Computing, Cybersecurity, Blockchain, RPA, & SAP that will assist students, faculty, research scholars, working professionals and tech-enthusiasts in up-skilling and staying updated with the rapidly changing technology. This association is another step towards their vision of becoming a preferred world-class centre imparting quality education that meets the demands of the future world by presenting a ready-made platform for timely investment in skills development today for a better future tomorrow.
Dr. S.K.Singh, a PhD from IIT Roorkee, former associate professor of National Institute of Technology, Jamshedpur and now the Advisory Board Member of AI-Beehive said that “Nowadays due to advancement in technology, everything is available at our fingertips. Although this is undeniably beneficial, it also comes with an overload of information. This abundance of information, without any guarantee of credibility, can increase the level of competition and be a roadblock in the success of career aspirants. Hence, teachers and institutions undertaking emerging technology training have the responsibility to guide students on the right information and ethical usage of technology.” He conveyed his best wishes to the MIT FuSE and AI Beehive team.
Ms. Rupa Singh, Founder & CEO, said that “This MoU was a perfect match as both AI Beehive & MIT FuSE believe that along with consuming technology, the learner should be able to be a producer of technology and contribute to the society.” She thinks that making technology graspable, a simplified approach towards it is essential and the Post Graduate Diploma in Data Science will have a Mindset, Concept and Application approach along with Experiential Learning & Industry Oriented Curriculum to help students understand it better and pursue their dream job in the data science field.
Mr. Arpit Yadav, Chief Technology Officer of AI beehive and a Research Scholar in Machine Learning, agrees that it’s important to create awareness on ethical usage of technology. He said, “This is the best Sangam between a great vision and a great team, a team which thrives for transforming the life of a student to build a new technological revolution.”
Data is essential for any company because it allows them to make decisions based on trends, statistics, and facts. Because of the importance of data, data science has evolved into a multi-disciplinary profession. Candidates will benefit from the Post Graduate Diploma in Data Science by gaining the technical knowledge and abilities needed to survive and prosper in today’s fast-paced technology world. The duration of the course will be 12 months, distributed over three trimesters, and the eligibility will be graduates from any stream with Mathematics at Class XII or equivalent. On successful completion of the program, the students will be awarded the Post Graduate Diploma in Data Science.
Prof. Dr. Mangesh Karad, Executive President and Vice-Chancellor, MIT ADT University, said, “Today, we have a massive influx of data scientists working in a variety of industries. This demand arose as a result of brands and businesses who need to use data effectively, which could be essential in stronger reach and returns. No wonder Data scientists are becoming increasingly important, and their increased demand in the job market has maximised its popularity with Gen Z.” He has wished both AI Beehive and MIT FuSE for their initiative in creating awareness on ethical technology usage and facilitating the data scientists of tomorrow. 
The first admission announcement was done by Dr. S.K.Singh and the details are available on the MIT-FuSE website. 
Prof. Suraj Bhoyar, Project Director MIT FuSE, reiterated that, “The vision & mission of MIT-FuSE is transforming and helping individuals to become successful professionals who will impact tomorrow’s economy.” He emphasised the growing use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and automation in the workplace, as well as the rise of remote workers and gig workers as a large segment of the workforce that will require constant up-skilling. Worldwide certifications are included in the PG Diploma Programs in order to meet skill-based job demands all over the world, which will surely help students, recent graduates, and working professionals overcome the loss of learning opportunities caused by the global pandemic. Dr. Atul Patil, Director at School of Holistic Development, MIT ADT University, Prof. Monika Bhoyar, Prof. Vilas Khedekar & Ms. Smruti Shelke also attended the MoU signing ceremony.

India Emerging as Stable Investment Anchor in Turbulent Global Economy, Say Investors at IGF Mumbai 2026

Capital allocators at IGF Mumbai 2026 assess India’s role as conflict in West Asia reshapes global markets.MUMBAI, India, March 12, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As military conflict in West Asia disrupts energy supplies through the Strait of Hormuz and global liquidity tightens, leading investors, policymakers and capital markets leaders gathered at IGF Mumbai 2026: Catalysing Capital to assess India’s position in an increasingly fragmented global economy.

The third edition of India Global Forum’s flagship Mumbai gathering brought together authoritative voices from private equity, venture capital, public markets and policy to examine how shifting geopolitics, supply-chain disruptions and tightening financial conditions are reshaping global capital flows – and where India fits within this evolving landscape.Despite global uncertainty, investors at the forum expressed strong confidence in India’s structural growth story.Speaking at the forum, Howard Morgan, Chairman of B Capital, said the current moment reflected more than just rising foreign investment.”What makes this moment different is not just the amount of foreign capital – it is the spirit and confidence within India itself.”Morgan added that global investors increasingly see India evolving beyond its traditional role as a services hub.”There’s a strong belief that India can become a global technology player, not just a services provider or a support hub for the rest of the world. India can produce goods and services for global markets, and for its own domestic market, which is now larger than China’s.”Reflecting on India’s position in a rapidly changing global landscape, Manoj Ladwa, Chairman of India Global Forum, said the country’s strategic balance is becoming increasingly important as global capital recalibrates.”In this evolving global landscape, India occupies a uniquely powerful position. Large enough to matter, open enough to integrate, and independent enough to make sovereign choices. India can expand trade while strengthening resilience, attract global capital while building domestic capability, and partner widely without becoming narrowly dependent. That balance will define the next phase of India.”Several speakers highlighted the growing importance of domestic capital in strengthening India’s financial resilience.Sunjay Sudhir, former Indian Ambassador to the UAE, offered a sobering assessment of the regional conflict that framed the day’s discussions.”The geopolitics of the Middle East are changing rapidly, and history is being written in real time. What we are witnessing now is unprecedented in this part of the world. The region has always been volatile, but few imagined that tensions could escalate to this extent.”Amit Chandra, Chairperson of Bain Capital Private Equity, pointed to the scale of local investment capacity.”Domestic capital is becoming one of India’s biggest strengths. Indian investors are increasingly deploying capital through equities and SIPs, while the country also holds vast untapped wealth in assets like gold.”Market participants also noted the rising maturity of India’s financial ecosystem and the expanding role of domestic investors in supporting market stability.Radhika Gupta, Managing Director & CEO of Edelweiss Mutual Fund, said increasing participation in mutual funds reflects changing investor behaviour.”February 2026 numbers for the mutual fund industry were actually 10% higher than January 2026 numbers. I think that reflects rising consumer maturity.”Similarly, Manisha Girotra, CEO of Moelis, highlighted how domestic investors are increasingly competing with global capital in major transactions.”One of the most encouraging trends is the rise of domestic capital. Indian strategic players are now competing with global investors to acquire assets. That rarely happened earlier.”Karthik Reddy, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Blume Ventures, highlighted India’s continued ability to sustain public listings as a meaningful differentiator, noting that despite periodic foreign outflows from Indian equities, global investors continue to allocate meaningfully to Indian primary markets, particularly IPOs.Vani Kola, Managing Director of Kalaari Capital, offered the long view: “In the last 40 years that I have been professionally engaged in the world of startups, conflict cycles come and go. They don’t matter if you take a long-term perspective.”Against a backdrop of geopolitical uncertainty and shifting capital flows, the conversations at IGF Mumbai 2026 underscored a growing consensus among global investors: India’s economic scale, domestic capital strength and institutional resilience are positioning the country as a defining force in the next phase of the global capital order. For investors navigating an uncertain world, India is increasingly becoming a market of stability rather than speculation.About India Global ForumIndia Global Forum tells the story of contemporary India. The pace of change and growth India has set itself is an opportunity for the world. IGF is the gateway for businesses and nations to help seize that opportunity.For more information, visit: www.indiaglobalforum.com Twitter: @IGFUpdates | @manojladwaLinkedIn: India Global ForumPhoto: https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2932542/Manoj_Ladwa_Howard_Morgan_IGF.jpgLogo: https://mma.prnewswire.com/media/2566069/IGF_Logo.jpg
