From Galgotias to Cambridge: 16 Galgotians selected for Prestigious AI and Entrepreneurship Summer Programme at Girton College, University of Cambridge

Greater Noida, July 2

According to the University, Galgotias University has been expanding its international engagement and this programme forms a part of its broader strategy to create structured global learning experiences that complement classroom education with international academic exposure. During their immersion at the Girton College, University of Cambridge, students will participate in interdisciplinary sessions on Frugal Artificial Intelligence (AI), innovation and entrepreneurship, strategic thinking, and leadership communication within a global business context.

The programme has been designed to help students understand how emerging technologies such as AI can be applied in resource efficient environments, how ventures are conceived and scaled in rapidly evolving markets, and how leaders communicate effectively across cultures. The curriculum also introduces participants to organisational behaviour, competitive strategy, business modelling, and executive storytelling, culminating in a capstone venture pitch where students develop solution oriented ideas to address contemporary global challenges.

Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University, said, "International academic immersion broadens perspectives and enables students to navigate different cultures, technologies and ways of thinking with confidence. Learning alongside global faculty and peers helps develop the multidisciplinary problem solving mindset needed to lead in an increasingly interconnected world. Such experiences prepare our students to become innovators and leaders capable of creating solutions with global relevance."

The University says, that beyond academics, the programme offers students the opportunity to experience life at one of the world's most respected universities while learning within one of the world's leading innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystems. The initiative reflects Galgotias University's continuing focus on creating meaningful international learning experiences that expose students to global faculty, research, industry, and entrepreneurial ecosystems.

Aradhana Galgotia, Chief Operating Officer, Galgotias University, and an alumna of Cambridge Judge Business School, University of Cambridge, said, "My time at Cambridge Judge Business School gave me first-hand exposure to an academic ecosystem that encourages intellectual curiosity, innovation, entrepreneurship, and global thinking. Having experienced the transformative impact of that environment myself, I felt strongly that our students should have the opportunity to learn from and engage with the same ecosystem. This programme is a reflection of that vision, to enable our students to experience world-class learning, interact with global faculty and peers, and gain perspectives that extend far beyond the classroom. We hope this exposure inspires them to think bigger, innovate boldly, and build solutions that can create meaningful impact in the world."

The University says, the summer programme builds on Galgotias University's expanding record of global student achievements and international engagement. Earlier this year, student teams earned international recognition at EDVentures 2026 in Hong Kong, where a student led startup Project TACTO received the AWS Championship Award. The University's iOS Student Developer ecosystem has emerged as one of India's strongest, with more than 65 student developed applications now live on the Apple App Store. In Apple's Swift Student Challenge 2026, 18 Galgotias students were recognised among 350 winners worldwide, while two students from the B.Tech CSE Class of 2027 earned the opportunity to attend WWDC 2026 at Apple Park, Cupertino.

According to the University, Galgotias University is one of India's leading multidisciplinary universities recognised for academic excellence, research, innovation, global collaborations, and industry aligned education. With a vibrant student community of over 50,000 learners and a global alumni network of more than 100,000 graduates, the University has built a rapidly growing ecosystem focused on technology, entrepreneurship, interdisciplinary learning, and real-world impact.
