Tech Mahindra Ltd.

Tech Mahindra has expanded collaboration with the University of Auckland (UoA) through an internship program to boost industry and academia innovation. The collaboration extends the initial agreement based on the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in September 2024 between Tech Mahindra and UoA. 

It is part of the University of Auckland's ongoing efforts at the New Zealand Centre in IIT Delhi and includes participation from all eight universities in New Zealand. This collaboration exemplifies Tech Mahindra's commitment to nurturing global talent and setting new standards for association between industry and academia. The internship program, which will commence in the second half of 2025, will offer students from New Zealand universities hands-on experience with emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and quantum computing, thus enhancing their employability and fostering technological innovation.

The collaboration further aims to accelerate research and innovation across various industries, including banking, healthcare, financial services, insurance, and government. It will focus on emerging technologies in AI and ML, such as spiking neural networks and 1-bit large language models (LLMs), while also enhancing quantum security through post-quantum cryptography. These innovations will have significant applications in healthcare, particularly in drug discovery and the development of personalized digital biomarkers. 

Tech Mahindra represents the connected world, offering innovative and customer-centric information technology experiences, enabling Enterprises, Associates and the Society to Rise.
