CHRIST University Teams Up with Salesforce for AI Education

CHRIST University in India has partnered with Salesforce to establish the Salesforce AI Innovation Lab and Academia Centre of Excellence. This collaboration aims to equip students and faculty with industry-relevant education and skills in enterprise technology and artificial intelligence.

The partnership will provide students with hands-on experience building agentic AI solutions and enterprise workflows on Salesforce, using technologies such as Agentforce, Data 360, and Tableau Next. This will help bridge the gap between classroom learning and industry practice, enabling graduates to develop practical expertise in AI and digital skills.

According to Dr. Fr. Jose C.C., Vice Chancellor of CHRIST University, 'Artificial Intelligence is redefining every discipline and every profession... Our partnership with Salesforce is a defining step towards realizing our AI Vision 2030, creating an environment where students and faculty engage with globally relevant enterprise technologies.'

Mankiran Chowhan, Managing Director at Salesforce India, added that the future of AI will be shaped by people who know how to apply it responsibly and at scale. The partnership aims to cultivate this talent through hands-on experience and industry-relevant education.
