Prof. P J Narayanan’s views on how institutions can shape the Indian IT industry
Several esteemed foreign universities are setting up their campuses in the country and a lot of prestigious institutions from India have secured higher ranks in global rankings. Still, there is a large skill gap, especially in the technology domain as companies are always on the lookout for candidates for exceptional technical prowess.
TechGig recently had the opportunity to have a deep discussion with Prof P J Narayanan, Director, IIIT Hyderabad about the role of premium educational institutions in shaping the Indian IT industry.

Transformative initiatives by IIITH alumni
Whether it’s raising funds to improve college infrastructure, starting a ‘pay forward model’ to help students from poor families pursue courses or mentoring students to secure jobs and internships, alumni of IIITH, based in different parts of the world have been doing their bit.
The institute, which recently felicitated a few alumni for their exceptional service to IIITH, has several active former students in its network.
“Since our fee is high, we as alumni felt that anyone who deserves to be in the institute shouldn’t be deprived of the opportunity. That’s how we set up the alumni fund, an initiative dear to me,” said Jayachandra Sunkara.
