BRIDGING ACADEMIA & INDUSTRY GAP at GARDEN CITY UNIVERSITY

Rainmatter partner startups

Dear @NithinKamath & @Pai

I’m Philip Samji, Coordinator of the Garden City Incubation Foundation at Garden City University, Bangalore.

Our incubation foundation was established with a singular vision: to create a vibrant ecosystem where students across disciplines can explore, build, and contribute meaningfully to innovation, research, and development.

In our latest initiative, we’ve partnered with SAMSUNG to launch the SEED Lab — Student Ecosystem for Engineered Data — a dedicated space where students work hands-on with live AI projects, sharpening their skills to meet real-world industry demands. From model development to deployment, this lab bridges the classroom and the marketplace.

We are currently expanding into more such live projects, and I believe there’s tremendous potential for synergy with Rainmatter and the startups you incubate. A collaboration could provide our students with exposure to early-stage innovation and give your portfolio companies access to an enthusiastic and skilled student base — a win-win before they even graduate.

Would love to explore this further!
