India’s First LinkedIn Experience Zone Opens at Chitkara University to Boost AI-Career Readiness
In a major push toward AI-driven education, Chitkara University has launched India’s first "LinkedIn Experience Zone," marking only the second such facility globally. The inauguration was led by Saba Karim, Head of Education at LinkedIn India, and Vibha Adlakha, Head of Customer Success for India and Japan, alongside university leadership. This collaboration aims to merge industry insights with academic learning to enhance student career readiness.
The zone is designed as an immersive, AI-enabled hub where students can participate in role-play simulations to prepare for real-world professional challenges. By utilising this dedicated space, students are empowered to build strong digital identities, improve their networking skills, and explore international career paths.
As part of the launch event, several LinkedIn Campus Ambassadors were honoured for their efforts in promoting digital professionalism across the campus.
Speaking on the initiative, Dr. Madhu Chitkara, Pro-Chancellor of Chitkara University, emphasised that the zone redefines how higher education approaches career preparation. She noted that the goal is to ensure graduates possess not only a degree but also the digital confidence and professional agility required in a tech-driven global market.
