In late July, Indian students from the International Institute of Information Technology Bangalore participated in a Paris immersion program on AI ethics, meeting UNESCO officials and experts. The same period saw US‑based Kobie open an AI hub in Bengaluru, staffed by about 50 specialists and linked to four Indian universities through internships, signalling a push to blend industry expertise with academic training.

By early August, leading Indian business schools, including several IIMs and NMIMS, announced the rollout of AI‑focused MBA pathways and undergraduate curricula. These initiatives aim to embed machine‑learning, generative AI, and data analytics across programs for roughly 40,000 students, with faculty receiving specialized training and leveraging platforms like Coursera. The progression reflects a shift from isolated immersion and corporate hub activities toward a broader, systematic integration of AI education throughout India's higher‑education landscape.
