Homegrown and globally scaling, Vayavya Labs Pvt. Ltd. once again proved that innovation thrives where intent meets action. In a landmark step towards deep-tech enablement and local talent development, Vayavya Labs recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Jain College of Engineering and Research (JCER), Belagavi.
This wasn’t just ink on paper. The occasion was marked by the inauguration of the NVIDIA Computing Center at JCER—a state-of-the-art lab designed to accelerate student learning and experimentation in AI, Machine Learning, and high-performance computing.
As part of this collaboration, Vayavya Labs will actively support faculty development and student training, with a focused emphasis on the AI/ML domain. This mutual alliance brings together two institutions at the forefront of technology and innovation, aiming to drive meaningful, long-term impact.
Ecosystem Building, Not Lip Service
Vayavya’s partnership with JCER is part of a larger vision: to nurture a tech ecosystem in Belagavi where academic brilliance and industry challenges collide in the best way possible.
“We see talent, curiosity, and commitment in our city. Collaborating with institutions like JCER gives us the opportunity to shape that raw potential into future-ready engineering talent,” said Mr. Varun Patil, Engineering Manager at Vayavya Labs.
Mr. Sangamesh Shetty, Senior Architect, emphasized how early exposure to real-world problem-solving can become a game-changer in engineering careers.
The event also featured a keynote address by Mr. Vijaykumar Daddi, VP at Mercedes-Benz R&D India, who spoke about growth, grit, and the evolving role of engineers in solving sustainable challenges. His words found a keen audience among students, educators, and professionals alike.
Dr. Prakash K Sonwalkar, Professor & Head, Dept. of CSE (AIML), JCER acknowledges that this initiative marks a big step in fostering innovation, collaboration, and excellence in technology at JCER. This MoU with Vayavya Labs Pvt. Ltd. is a landmark step toward strengthening industry–academia collaboration, enabling research, innovation, and career opportunities for our students and faculty.
What This Partnership Means
This MoU isn’t a check-the-box but rather a long-term commitment towards Vayavya’s support to Academia. Here’s what’s in store:
Collaborative research in areas like AI, LLMs, Embedded Systems
Internship and placement pathways for students
Real-world industry engagement through guest lectures, hackathons, and mentorship
At a time when companies often centralize their innovation in metros, Vayavya Labs is walking the opposite path by scaling globally but building locally. Whether it’s SystemC modeling, embedded excellence, or deep-tech R&D, the company is not just part of Belagavi’s story — it’s actively scripting it.
Because for Vayavya, Belagavi isn’t just a location. It’s the launchpad.
