Bangalore: Global
enterprise software major SAP India Monday hosted a hi-tech event
here to promote entrepreneurship among 5,000 students from 200
universities across the country and bridge the industry-academic
gap.
"The 'Techniversity 2012' is an ideal platform for varsity
students to learn about key technologies and trends required to
shift from academia to industry, as the event is based on
education, inspiration, innovation, career and competition," SAP
Labs India vice-president Sunder Madakshira told reporters on the
occasion.
Among the technologies showcased at the event was a 'Design
Challenge' where students were asked to come up with an innovative
product or a solution that could help the world run better.
"The students were also exposed to latest technologies such as
cloud computing, mobile computing, data, analytics, in-memory
computing and first hand information in social media to give an
insight into the requirements of the changing software market,"
Madakshira said.
Delivering the keynote address, chess Grandmaster Vishwanathan
Anand advised the wannabe techies to follow their dreams and
challenge themselves to excel.
"You need to constantly practice to excel in any occupation or
profession. It is important to cultivate interest and develop an
eye for detail," Anand told the students.
Leading online bus tickets firm RedBus chief executive Phinandra
Sama, ethical hacker and computer security expert Ankit Fadia and
global search engine Google Indian country head Sunil Rao
addressed the students during the day-long event.
"The platform also enabled some of the bright students to
demonstrate their innovative skills in using technology for
various applications," Madakshira added.
Majority of students were from cities like Bhubaneshwar, Chennai,
Hyderabad, Mysore and Pune and towns such as Hubli, Kolar,
Mangalore, Sringeri and Tumkur across the state (Karnataka).
The Germany-based SAP empowers large, medium and small firms
worldwide with business software solutions and consulting services
to make enterprises operate profitably, adapt and sustain.
