Hyderabad: Pegasystems Inc, the enterprise AI software company for mission-critical work, announced new and expanded university partnerships under its University Academic Program (UAP) at its flagship event, PEGAInnovate.
As agentic AI and intelligent automation reshape how enterprises build and run their most important work, Pega is embedding these in-demand skills directly into engineering education.
With 23 universities already on board and plans to add another 30 to 40 this year, VEMU Technical University joins as a brand-new partner. At the same time, the University of Engineering & Management (UEM), Kolkata, and Woxsen University mark the expansion of Pega’s growing academic footprint.
Through this direct model with universities, Pega elevates faculty capability and builds a pipeline of Pega-certified students fluent in agentic AI, Gen AI, and enterprise automation. It reflects Pega’s conviction that upskilling of this kind is no longer optional; it is vital to India’s digital ambitions and long-term economic resilience.
