New Delhi [India], May 16: Comviva, a global leader in customer experience and data monetization solutions, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the University of Southampton Delhi. With its Comviva 2.0 vision of driving innovation, fostering ecosystem partnerships, and empowering the workforce of the future, this collaboration marks a significant step in strengthening industry-academia ties and nurturing a robust pipeline of next-generation digital talent.
Through this partnership, Comviva and the University of Southampton Delhi aim to co-develop strategic initiatives focused on talent development, collaborative innovation, and community impact.

The initial offerings will be undergraduate and postgraduate degrees in business, computing, economics and finance. Over the coming years, the course offering will expand significantly, to include engineering, healthcare, art and design, social sciences and science and technology.
The partnership with Comviva was facilitated by the India Business Group, a leading strategic advisory consultancy that has been assisting the University of Southampton with stakeholder engagement for its India campus.
On this partnership, Rajesh Chandiramani, CEO of Comviva, said, " At Comviva, we believe the future of digital innovation lies in building meaningful partnerships that bridge academia and industry. This collaboration with the University of Southampton reflects our commitment to nurturing future-ready talent, fostering a culture of innovation, and supporting inclusive growth. It is a key pillar of our Comviva 2.0 vision to empower young minds and co-create solutions that address real-world challenges. Beyond talent development, this partnership will also serve as a platform for collaborative R&D, capacity building, and community-focused programs, thereby advancing our shared vision of innovation excellence and long-term societal impact."
Professor Andrew Atherton, Vice-President International and Engagement at the University of Southampton, said, "This partnership with Comviva reflects our ongoing commitment to create meaningful, career-focused opportunities for our students in India. Through this collaboration, we aim to equip our graduates with the skills and experience required to succeed in a global workplace and competitive industry. We look forward to working with a global company like Comviva across talent development, innovation and broader community engagement."
