The campus is the alma mater of Google's current CEO, Sundar Pichai. It places a strong emphasis on fostering startups and was the first in India to establish a Technology Park and an Entrepreneurship Center.
This latest initiative allows "Cognavi," an AI-driven platform, to fulfill its role at IIT Kharagpur by connecting talented engineering students with suitable employment opportunities. It also enables recruiters to access the campus's pool of highly skilled students.
"Cognavi" now collaborates with seven IITs across India, solidifying its presence within the nation's premier academic institutions.

Additionally, for students who wish to work in Japan, the Company provides support in finding employment with Japanese companies through the "Work in Japan" service, which connects Indian students with businesses in Japan.
Moving forward, Cognavi India will continue to provide its service to various IIT campuses while also working to expand its introduction to other campuses. Through these efforts, the company aims to become a new infrastructure connecting companies and students, streamline the recruitment process, and strengthen industry-academia collaboration.
