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

The software industry is evolving at an unprecedented pace. Technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, automation, cloud computing, API-driven platforms, and data-centric applications are now foundational skills.

• Strong theoretical knowledge but limited hands-on experience
• Minimal exposure to production-level codebases
• Limited understanding of agile workflows, client needs, and deployment challenges

By integrating real-world software product development directly into academic and upskilling programs, this partnership prepares learners for long-term industry roles, not just entry-level positions.
