Mr. Kalyan Banerjee serves as Advisor at Edureka. He is among the ten co-founders of Mindtree. He serves as Advisor at QShala. After participating in the growth and transformation of the computer industry for 26 years, Kalyan joined Centurion University in June 2012 to explore and implement different ways to make an impact on education and society. As part of Centurion University, he has driven a curriculum that focuses on building intrinsic interest in the discipline through engaging in real, meaningful projects. This approach will create self-confident citizens who are self employable. Such transformation is being achieved through multiple university initiatives that include a sustained focus on projects, meaningful labs, an examination system that moves into problem-solving and application of concepts rather than test memory, and involvement of faculty in real-world projects. He envisions universities that empower students from all socio-economic backgrounds with personal mentoring from faculty, focuses on skills and character development beyond the syllabus or college timings, thus creating a more inclusive society. Collaboration with companies and campuses is part of this roadmap.
