Bangalore : As questions about the future of work and education grow louder, Vidyashilp University is set to offer a compelling response through The Future of Higher Education 2025—a one-of-a-kind event that brings together thought leaders, alumni trailblazers, and bold student innovators to explore how interdisciplinary learning is redefining undergraduate education.
Scheduled for April
26th at 9:00 AM, the event invites students and parents to experience how
Vidyashilp’s interdisciplinary curriculum and unique pedagogy are preparing
students for the careers of the future.
Anchoring the event
are two compelling keynote speakers. Dr. Tirthankar Patnaik, Chief Economist at
the National Stock Exchange of India, will speak on how India's rapid growth is
reshaping the 21st Century. Rashmi Bansal, bestselling author and
leading voice in youth entrepreneurship, will highlight the need for
interdisciplinary learning in an undergrad setting.
A high-energy panel
discussion— “Exploring Academia and Industry Connect in the Techno Gen Z
Era”—will spotlight the growing alignment between industry needs and
interdisciplinary academic models. The panel includes Dr. Tirthankar Patnaik,
Rashmi Bansal, and Prof. Umesh Mahtani, Program Chair of BMS at VU and will be
moderated by Dr. Tania Islam, Assistant Professor at VU.
The event also features Vidyashilp alumni voices with Shashwati Rao (Business Manager, Apple India) and Varun Dev (CEO, UCAM), both of whom credit an interdisciplinary ecosystem for enabling them to lead with agility, across domains.
Attendees will get a
chance to interact with faculty and explore student-led projects that cut
across technology, psychology, business, economics, law, and design. From
robotics powered by behavioural science to AI-driven social tools, these
initiatives offer a tangible glimpse into how learning at Vidyashilp is built
to connect domains seamlessly.
What sets The
Future of Higher Education 2025 apart is that it’s not just about what
students learn, but how they learn to think—across domains, with purpose, and
in ways that are future-relevant.
The event is open to
aspiring undergraduate students and their parents.
