Chitkara University Signs MoU with Nutanix for Hybrid Cloud Centre

Chitkara University has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Nutanix to establish a Centre of Excellence in Hybrid Cloud Technologies. The agreement sets out a collaborative initiative to connect academic learning with industry practice in the field of cloud computing.

The MoU was formalised in the presence of Dr. Cavita Taragi, Pro Vice Chancellor, Career Advancement Services at the university, and Mandar Marulkar, Senior Director, Professional Services at Nutanix. The partnership provides a formal basis for engagement in areas related to hybrid cloud infrastructure and enterprise systems.

Under the initiative, students will gain access to expert-led sessions, enterprise platforms, and application-oriented exercises designed to reflect current industry practices.
