* With this partnership, we are aiming to leverage academic collaboration to drive significant technological innovations.
SAP Labs India and PSG Institute of Technology and Applied Research (PSGiTech) Coimbatore have renewed their Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for two years. The renewal aims to continue to provide students with industry exposure, undertake collaborative research projects, and develop thought-leadership focused on SAP technologies. Academia collaborations are key to SAP Labs India’s commitment to fostering an innovation mindset among students. By partnering with top educational institutes in India, SAP Labs India continues to explore research engagements on industry-relevant topics, driving progress and innovation.
This collaboration is set to engage students from PSGiTech through various initiatives, including hackathons based on challenge statements and relevant emerging topics. Additionally, SAP Labs India will conduct knowledge-sharing sessions through Research Engagement and Collaboration Hub (REACH by SAP Labs India) to empower faculty and students with expertise in SAP and related technologies. The partnership also encompasses co-authoring of books and research papers and organizing expert sessions on topics of joint interest. SAP Labs India has been working with PSGiTech on several topics including Low-Code No-Code, coding constructs for energy efficiency, cloud deployment, cloud cost management, and many more.
Sindhu Gangadharan, MD, SAP Labs India, and Vice Chairperson, nasscom, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, “At SAP, we believe that innovation is the cornerstone of progress. Partnering with academic institutions like PSGiTech allows us to tap into a rich pool of talent and fresh ideas, driving technological advancements that can shape the future. In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, particularly with the rise of generative AI, it is crucial for students to augment their education with hands-on industry experience and deep subject matter expertise. Our collaboration with PSGiTech provides students with the opportunity to build and showcase their innovative capabilities, co-develop solutions to real-world challenges, and prepare for a dynamic workforce. We are excited to continue this journey of research and innovation with the faculty members and students of PSGiTech.”
Dr N Saravanakumar, Principal-PSGiTech added, “The ongoing association between PSGiTech and SAP Labs India is more than a partnership; it’s a shared vision that recognizes the power of collaboration between academia and industry.

Moreover, SAP Labs India and PSGiTech will hold joint workshops to address challenges collaboratively, explore internship and project opportunities for students, and facilitate periodic visits to SAP Labs India Bangalore campus for nominated representatives and students of PSGiTech to strengthen their ties. The collaboration also includes the Teachers Industry Immersion Program that aims to bridge the gap between theoretical classroom learning and real-world applications of technology in the industry.
