Khalti Digital Wallet and Lord Buddha Education Foundation (LBEF) have signed a strategic partnership agreement to provide internship and job placement opportunities to e-business and IT students. Manish Modi, Managing Director of Khalti and Pankaj Jalan, Chairman of LBEF signed the agreement at a special ceremony in Kathmandu on November 6.
Final year students and fresh graduates of LBEF can apply for an internship at Khalti. After a brief internship period, they will be recruited to work full-time at the company. Khalti will provide a flexible work schedule so that students do not have to miss their class and also will provide leave during exams or any other important projects in consultation with the college.
Speaking about the agreement, Manish Modi, Managing Director of Khalti shared, “We consider this collaboration as a win-win situation for both Khalti and LBEF students. One of the main agendas of both institutions is to develop the IT industry of Nepal. This collaboration will bring synergy to both institutions. We are hopeful that we will be enriching the student experience effectively and appropriately and at the same time, increasing the quality of workforce in the company.”
Likewise, LBEF will provide special scholarships to the employees of Khalti who wish to join the Master’s program at the college. This collaboration between Khalti and LBEF is expected to set an example of industry-academia partnership in Nepal.
