Pegasystems has onboarded three new partners, ai4process, The Skill Enhancers, and Tinkr Learning, into its University Academic Program, joining existing partner SmartBridge to train engineering graduates on Pega Blueprint, generative AI and agentic engineering. The programme will roll out from August 2026 and aims to cover over 500 students in its first year, eventually scaling to 800-1,000 graduates across 50-plus campuses.
Deepak Visweswaraiah of Pega India said the expansion is driven by real hiring demand, with equal emphasis on human skills to make graduates job-ready. Partners Amit Agrawal and Sameer Nagi see the initiative as building India's next generation of digital talent.
The partnership is notable because it targets India's massive engineering graduate pool, where employability is a persistent concern. By embedding industry-specific tools like Pega Blueprint into university curricula, the programme aims to bridge the gap between academic learning and enterprise needs. For students, the key metric to watch is how many of the trained graduates secure jobs with Pega clients or partners. The August 2026 rollout gives universities time to integrate the curriculum, but the real test will be whether the 800-1,000 target is met in subsequent years.
