Meander Software Partners with CT University, Ludhiana to Build Industry-Ready Talent and Future-Focused Software Products

The gap between academic learning and real-world software development has been a long-standing challenge in India’s education and technology ecosystem. While universities produce thousands of graduates every year, the software industry continues to demand professionals who are technically sound, industry-ready, adaptable, and capable of building scalable real-world products.

In a significant step toward solving this challenge, Meander Software announces its strategic partnership with CT University, Ludhiana. This collaboration strengthens ongoing product development while delivering structured, outcome-driven upskilling programs aligned with modern industry requirements.

This partnership reflects a shared vision to create a sustainable ecosystem where education, innovation, and industry move forward together.

Why This Partnership Matters in Today’s Tech Landscape
