In a move to bridge the gap between academia and industry, Loom Solar, one of India’s leading solar manufacturing companies, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya (GSV) — a Central University established under the Ministry of Railways — to co-develop skill-oriented programs tailored to the evolving needs of India’s renewable energy and infrastructure sectors.

The partnership, formalised through a Letter of Intent, seeks to combine Loom Solar’s industry expertise with GSV’s academic and research strengths to strengthen India’s clean energy talent pipeline.

Under the collaboration, Loom Solar and GSV will work jointly on curriculum development, student training, and internship programs. The two organizations plan to co-create academic modules, case studies, and workshops that align classroom learning with real-world industry practices, ensuring students acquire future-ready, practical skills.

Prof. Manoj Choudhary, Vice Chancellor of Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya, said the initiative reflects GSV’s mission to create a skilled and future-ready workforce. “Our vision at GSV is to bridge the gap between academia and industry by building a workforce that is not only skilled but also future-ready. This collaboration with Loom Solar strengthens our mission to align education with industry outcomes,” he stated.

Amod Anand, Director and Co-Founder of Loom Solar, noted that the renewable energy sector’s rapid growth demands a strong talent foundation. “India’s renewable energy sector is growing at an unprecedented pace, and a skilled workforce will be the backbone of this transformation. Through this partnership with GSV, we aim to help shape a generation of engineers and professionals who understand both the technology and the mission behind clean energy,” he said.

The collaboration will also include guest lectures, workshops, and hands-on training sessions to provide students with real-world exposure. Loom Solar will offer internship and live project opportunities, enabling students to apply classroom concepts in practical settings.

Since its establishment, Gati Shakti Vishwavidyalaya has emphasized industry-integrated education to develop employable, industry-ready professionals. This partnership with Loom Solar underscores a shared vision to build a skilled, sustainable, and innovation-driven workforce that will support India’s long-term clean energy and infrastructure goals, including the national vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
