L&T to Launch Online Engineering Courses
The online education space, hitherto dominated by start-ups, has now caught the attention of engineering and construction giant Larsen & Toubro. The company is set to enter the online engineering education space with the launch of L&T Edutech in September. The new venture will introduce industry-led application-based learning for engineering students to improve their employability. SN Subrahmanyan, MD and CEO of L&T said that L&T Edutech will focus on engineering education across sectors including civil, electrical, mechanical, production and chemical. “Our engineering course will have a lot of practical examples based on L&T’s experiences. The courses will be more practical-oriented than theoretical,” he added. Nagendran Sundararajan, former international business head of Manipal Global Education, is leading L&T’s new venture. The venture is part of L&T’s plan to adopt digital technologies to future-proof its businesses. In addition to edutech, it will be launching Sufin, a financial supply platform to establish L&T’s presence in the e-commerce marketplace.
