Tripura's Tech Leap: 10 AI Experts Head to Delhi and Bengaluru for Internships
Ten AI-trained candidates from Tripura secure industry internships in Delhi and Bengaluru under skill development initiatives.
In a significant boost to the state's technological landscape, ten youth from Tripura have secured prestigious industry internships in the tech hubs of Delhi and Bengaluru. These candidates, who underwent rigorous training in Tripura AI internships and emerging technologies, are set to begin their professional journeys on October 21, marking a milestone for the state's skill development initiatives.
Bridging the Gap: From Training to Industry
The internship offer letters were distributed during a special event in Agartala, organized by the Directorate of Skill Development. The ceremony was graced by Santana Chakma, the Minister of Industries and Commerce of Tripura, alongside Pradeep K, IAS, the Director of Skill Development.
This achievement is the result of a comprehensive training ecosystem. A total of 152 candidates from Tripura were trained in specialized roles, including AI Assistant and AI Machine Learning Analyst. This massive training drive was powered by key initiatives such as the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas Yojana (PMKVY) 4.0 and the Mukhya Mantri Dakhyata Unnayan Prakalpa (MMDUP).
A Collaborative Effort for Excellence
The success of these candidates was made possible through a strategic partnership between academia and industry. The training was conducted in collaboration with several prestigious institutions, including:
- I-Hub Foundation for Cobotics (IHFC)
- IIT Delhi
- NIT Agartala
- NIELIT Agartala
Where the Talent is Heading
The selected candidates have been placed in leading technology firms, providing them with a platform to apply their theoretical knowledge to real-world professional environments.
Delhi-Based Placements
The majority of the selected candidates will be heading to the national capital:
- Carnot Research Pvt Ltd: Six candidates—Debarshi Saha, Debadrita Saha, Arunoday Debnath, Krishan Datta, Tanmay Debnath, and Pushmita Shil—will join this firm.
- BRAVECORE Surveillance & Tactical: Prena Saha and Sagnik Saha have been selected for internships here.
Bengaluru-Based Placements
Two candidates have secured spots in India's "Silicon Valley":
- Symantec Technology: Kritika Banik and Pratik Narayan Chakraborty will be gaining experience at this Bengaluru-based giant.
Empowering the Next Generation
Minister Santana Chakma highlighted that these placements are a crucial step toward strengthening technological advancement and future development within Tripura. He emphasized that by equipping 152 candidates with AI and Machine Learning skills, the state is actively preparing its youth for a rapidly evolving job market.
Notably, Kritika Banik's journey serves as a prime example of this success. Her selection by Symantec Technologies followed a specialized AI system training program conducted at NIT Agartala under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) scheme, with coordination and ID support from IIFC ID.
"This achievement reflects the growing opportunities available to Tripura’s youth through specialised training, industry-oriented learning and collaboration between educational institutions and technology organisations."
As these ten pioneers prepare to leave for Delhi and Bengaluru, the initiative stands as a blueprint for how performance-based selection and specialized training can open doors to high-tech careers for students in the North East.
