In this era of rapid technological advancement and evolving job markets, Telangana is steadfastly committed to enriching educational opportunities and cultivating essential skills for the youth.

Today, it is with great enthusiasm that ICFAI and Seedstars announce their pivotal partnership that represents a major step forward in our education and skill development initiatives.

Hon’ble Minister for IT and Industries, Government of Telangana, Sri D. Sridhar Babu expressed his happiness in welcoming Seedstars to Telangana, “Education and skilling has been a key focus of the government and for Seedstars to set up an academy focussing on placements will be a great boost for the youth of Telangana.”

The Swiss powerhouse Seedstars, a leader in fostering growth in emerging markets through technology and entrepreneurship, alongside its long-standing partner xMultiplied, will be joining forces with ICFAI, a prominent Indian university, in the launch of the Seedstars Academy in Telangana.

This audacious initiative is a joint endeavor to establish the premier program for 21st-century jobs in India, aiming to address the pressing issue of unemployability. Seedstars, boasting a global footprint across 90 countries and 5 continents, has chosen Telangana as the launchpad for its inaugural Academy on the Asian continent, a testament to the region's burgeoning potential.

ICFAI and Seedstars are fast progressing towards the transformative journey of unlocking 300 student seats, with grand ambitions to scale it exponentially by 2025, leveraging ICFAI's existing network of 11 campuses across the country.

Seedstars' commitment to invest in the Indian launch of the Academy underscores its unwavering dedication to deploying expertise and resources. The Seedstars Academy promises a paradigm shift in education, offering a pioneering two-year tech and entrepreneurship training program that taps into cutting-edge, internationally-proven pedagogies. The curriculum, designed to be student-centric, gamified, and challenge-based, transcends conventional learning methods.

With a track record of over 100,000 students globally benefiting from similar pedagogies and achieving stellar placement rates nearing 100%, this approach is strategically crafted to meet the real-world demands of corporates and the technology sector, strategically countering the anticipated shortage of fast-learning and agile professionals in the imminent future.

This initiative is not merely about imparting knowledge; it's about nurturing the next generation of leaders. The Seedstars Academy is poised to furnish students with immersive, hands-on experiences, positioning them at the forefront of India's technological renaissance.

As Seedstars, its partner xMultiplied and ICFAI embark on this exciting journey, they are not only shaping the future of education in Telangana but also contributing to a brighter, more technologically adept India. This partnership is more than an investment in education; it's an investment in our youth, our state, and our nation's future. We look forward to the impact of this transformative partnership.
