What is YUGMA ?

YUGMA, the Industry- Academia collaboration platform by VANS Skilling and Advisory (an organisation formed by former CXO’s/ Board members of leading organisations). Over the last nine months, through our platform, we have engaged over 15,000 students from over 110 B-schools through a real business problem solving approach coupled with mentoring from the industry stalwarts. We believe that this will help in bridging the employability gap and also help organizations leverage the strength of talent in these B schools.

YUGMA as a platform offers Placement support services, Mentorship (sector wise, specialization wise), Unique industry certified programs and live case studies and business problems through unique competitions (Go to market, new product launch, digital strategy and many more) . YUGMA has over 60 Industry mentors as part of its team including some of the serving CEO’s . 

Recently, YUGMA through its platform has provided opportunities for over 100 internships being offered by 25 startups and other corporates. Over 1600 students from 103 B schools registered for this drive.
