Goa [India], December 16: HOAG, India's pioneering Ivy-grade summer program, has partnered with BITS BioCyTiH Foundation (BBF), an innovation and deep-tech initiative of BITS Pilani, K.K. Birla Goa Campus, to launch a transformative Summer Program for students aged 18 to 22. Built around the underlying theme "Leadership in the Age of AI", the program focuses on helping young adults develop the human, strategic, and adaptive skills needed to thrive in a world being reshaped by rapid technological change, without teaching AI tools or technical AI concepts.
As industries evolve at an unprecedented pace, the ability to collaborate, communicate, think critically, and adapt meaningfully has become essential. This summer program helps students understand how to steer their careers, make thoughtful decisions, and build a strong personal foundation to grow confidently in a dynamic future.
"This program gives students the space and guidance to understand themselves, explore their potential, and develop leadership that is rooted in purpose and human capability, even as the world around them continues to shift.", said Adetya VN Chopra, Founder of HOAG.
Aligned with the mission of BITS BioCyTiH Foundation, the program integrates design thinking, innovation frameworks, systems understanding, and real-world challenge exploration. Through hands-on sessions, reflective exercises, interdisciplinary exposure, and mentor interactions, participants learn how to navigate complexity with confidence.
Commenting on the collaboration, Anil Wali, CEO of BITS BioCyTiH Foundation, said:
"In a rapidly changing world, leadership is defined by clarity, curiosity, and responsible action. Our partnership with HOAG offers young learners the opportunity to develop these qualities while exploring how different fields intersect and evolve. We are pleased to provide an ecosystem where students can learn deeply, question boldly, and grow meaningfully."
