CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: Chandigarh University, in collaboration with LinkedIn, today launched India’s first LinkedIn Experience Zone at its campus. This pioneering initiative transforms university spaces into dynamic career launchpads that empower students to build their professional identities, enhance employability and prepare them for the future of work.
The Experience Zone was inaugurated in the presence of Ruchee Anand, Country Head & Senior Director, Talent Solutions, LinkedIn India, Saba Karim, India Head, Public Sector, Education & Government at LinkedIn, Dr SS Sehgal Pro-Vice Chancellor (Operations) and Registrar, Chandigarh University and Anmol Wahi, Product Marketing Manager, LinkedIn among other dignitaries from Linked team and varsity officials.
The LinkedIn Experience Zone is a first-of-its-kind interactive space that gives students hands-on exposure to AI-driven career tools, guidance on building impactful professional profiles, and access to skill-building resources.

Ruchee Anand, Country Head & Senior Director, Talent Solutions, LinkedIn India, said, “Many students have the technical training and skills but often lack guidance on presenting themselves effectively to employers. The LinkedIn Experience Zone bridges that gap – helping students create strong profiles, explore AI-powered tools like Interview Prep and Career Coach and gain industry-relevant skills through LinkedIn Learning. This initiative will support students in unlocking opportunities and become future-ready professionals.”
Satnam Singh Sandhu, Member of Parliament and Chancellor Chandigarh University said, “Chandigarh University has collaborated with LinkedIn to launch India’s first LinkedIn Experience Zone, designed to professionally guide our students especially freshers who often lack clarity on the latest in-demand skills, how to build a strong online profile, or how to seize opportunities in the job market. This first-of-its-kind initiative will not only help students understand the value of a strong professional profile but also equip them to create one thereby enhancing their employability prospects multifold. It indeed marks a significant step in bridging the gap between academia and industry by integrating technology, experiential learning and global collaboration, empowering our students to become future-ready professionals, prepared to thrive in the age of AI and digital transformation.”
