Microsoft launches flagship DCA at IIITH

Aiming to equip aspiring software professionals with industry-ready skills, Microsoft on Wednesday launched its global flagship Data Centre Academy (DCA) at International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIIT). The initiative is being implemented in collaboration with Young India Skills University (YISU), with United Way of Hyderabad as the non-profit partner and Selasian Consultancy Services as the training partner, according to a release. The DCA is a global skilling programme designed to bridge the talent gap in the fast-growing data centre sector, as Hyderabad emerges as a major hub for multinational technology firms. It is the first such programme in the country aimed at preparing entry- and mid-level professionals for data centre operations and management. The release added that the academy will offer hands-on, industry-aligned training focused on practical, job-ready skills, with a curriculum benchmarked to global standards.

CIE-IIITH hosts Winter 2025 Demo Day

Winter 2025 Demo Day at CIE@IIIT Hyderabad featured 13 startups building research-driven, cutting-edge solutions in AI, intelligent sensing, MedTech devices, robotics, energy storage, language technologies, and space systems. They are drawn from CIE’s three accelerators — Avishkar (DeepTech), the MedTech Incubator, and the AIC-Social Accelerator. These research-led startups are translating applied work from IIIT Hyderabad labs such as CVIT, RRC, CVEST, and SPCRC into deployable technologies. Their work spans areas such as intelligent sensing, AI-driven diagnostics, autonomous systems, sustainable materials, and next-generation infrastructure, translating academic research into solutions with measurable societal, environmental, and economic impact. Startups presented validated technologies, market traction, and investment readiness to a curated pool of investors, including SucSEED Venture Partners, Abyro Capital, O2 VC Fund, Hyderabad Angels, Pavestone VC and Gruhas etc.

IIITH launches 3-month certificate program on Engineering Agentic AI System

IIITH, through its DFL, has announced the launch of a new 12-week online certificate program titled “Engineering Agentic AI Systems: Agentic AI from Concepts to Practice.” The program will be delivered by Prof. Karthik V. Designed to be hands-on and practice-oriented, the course enables learners to design, build, test, and deploy agentic AI systems grounded in real-world use cases. Speaking on the launch, Prof. S K Shukla said: “This program reinforces our commitment to advancing high-quality AI education at scale—for working professionals as well as for students who are unable to partake in the world-class AI research at the IIITH. Agentic AI represents a significant leap in how transformer-based AI models are orchestrated into parallel pipelines of complex tasks to automate end-to-end business processes. By empowering learners beyond our campus to build agentic workflow solutions, we aim to help create a competent workforce for a rapidly evolving IT industry.”

IIITH Researchers use Math to decode living systems

Scientists use mathematical models to explain why mosquito populations surge after rain, how species disappear without warning or why ecosystems recover when a missing element is restored. At International Institute of Information Technology Hyderabad (IIITH), researchers are using reaction networks and dynamical systems to study these hidden patterns in living systems. Prof. Abhishek Deshpande from the Center for Computational Natural Sciences and Bioinformatics said the reaction networks helped scientists understand chains of cause and effect. He pointed to the Yellowstone example in the United States, where wolves were reintroduced about 30 years ago after their numbers had collapsed. Elk populations had risen sharply in their absence, damaging young trees and riverbanks. Prof. Deshpande explained, “When wolves returned, the balance shifted again. It showed how one species can influence everything around it. Reaction networks help us explain why such changes unfold the way they do.”
