IGATE Corporation, the New Jersey-headquartered integrated
technology and operations solutions provider, today launched the
IGATE Corporate University – the Company’s sprawling training and
development facility in Pune. As one of Asia’s largest corporate
training Universities, the IGATE Corporate University will focus on
building custom training programs and methodologies in association

tutelage of renowned Professors collaborating with the corporate

Spread across 37 acres of land on the foothills of the
picturesque Western Ghats, the facility can accommodate more than
750 trainees simultaneously with residential facilities and
world-class co-curricular and extra-curricular amenities such as
club house, swimming pools and food courts.
The expansive training facility in Hinjewadi Pune was
inaugurated by Harry Kenyon-Slaney, chief executive Energy, Rio
Tinto. Rio Tinto is a leading global mining and metals company and
one of IGATE’s key clients.
Inaugurating the facility, Mr. Kenyon-Slaney said, “IGATE
is our strategic partner for the state-of-the-art Rio Tinto
Innovation Centre. The centre, which is also based here in Pune, is
crucial to supporting the global growth and development of our Mine
of the Future™ program. We look forward to seeing the IGATE
Corporate University play a leading role in the development of the
next generation of world-class talent and technical capabilities in
India.”
Ashok Vemuri, President and CEO IGATE, said, “It is a
seminal moment for us. People are our biggest assets and we believe
in richly investing in them, nurturing them to become the leaders
of tomorrow. I foresee the IGATE Corporate University significantly
enabling our employees to be best prepared for our journey of
growth.”
“Learning is an integral part of our mission statement. As
individuals and as a Company, it is important for us to stay ahead
of the dynamic changes taking place in technology and processes,
for us to leverage to the benefit of our clients,” he
added.
Dr. Srinivas Kandula, EVP and Chief People Officer, IGATE,
said, “We have collaborated with BITS Pilani, Symbiosis and
XLRI to begin with and are well on course to have tie ups with
several globally renowned educational institutions. The focus will
essentially be on developing Leadership Quotient, Technology
Quotient, and Social Quotient in the real world.”
Apart from state of the art class rooms and innovation labs, the
University also has a customer experience center in the campus
allowing the trainees to get a first-hand interaction with IGATE’s
