Quotes

Vishnu Manchu

Pro-Chancellor of Mohan Babu University

“A university education gives students the foundation they need, but the world of work also demands practical skills, confidence and the ability to keep learning. Through this partnership, we aim to bring industry exposure and practical learning closer to students while they are still in college, so that they can build the skills they need for the opportunities ahead.”

“Our students are entering a world where the pace of change is as much a challenge as an opportunity. At MBU, we want them to see that change as their advantage. Strong fundamentals, exposure to real industry practice and mentorship they can trust are what turn ambition into careers.”

Vinay Maheshwari

Executive Director and Trustee of Mohan Babu University

“Employability is not built in the final semester. It is built steadily, when learning, practice and guidance come together. Through the two-teacher model with PW Skills, industry practitioners and our own faculty mentors will work side by side with students across three semesters, alongside their academic journey.”
