GURUGRAM: Haryana, India – Business Wire India In a timely push towards India’s vision of becoming a developed nation by 2047, the Global Risk Management Institute (GRMI), Gurugram, a pioneering institution for specialised postgraduate education in risk management and leadership, is organizing “Reimagining Industry Academic Convergence (RIAC)” Movement on December 11-12, 2025, in Mumbai. This significant 1.5-day event, themed Co-Creating Talent for Atmanirbhar Bharat, will bring together academia, industry leaders, and policymakers to bridge major gaps in education and research, fostering employment-ready talent in line with NITI Aayog’s Viksit Bharat vision.
With youth unemployment rising to 14.8% for ages 15-29 in Q2 FY26, nearly three times the national average of 5.2% and 83% of engineering graduates unable to get relevant jobs despite a 72% employability rate, the need for academia-industry collaboration has never been greater. These stark realities, intensified by skill gaps in high-growth industries such as AI and renewables, jeopardise India’s demographic dividend and global competitiveness.
RIAC arrives at this critical juncture, supplementing the government’s aggressive talent development strategy. The Higher Education Commission of India (HECI) Bill 2025, which will potentially merge/restructure the UGC, AICTE, and NCTE into a single regulator to enforce NEP 2020’s focus on quality, autonomy, and industry-aligned curricula, is scheduled to be introduced during the present Winter Session of Parliament (December 1-19, 2025).
