“LTSU: Skills for the World. Values for Life.”
A Conversation with EPL Anu Kaushal, Training Director & Communications, Lamrin Tech Skills University
“LTSU isn’t just producing skilled youth — we are raising ethically passionate leaders for India’s future.”
Q: Anu, what makes Lamrin Tech Skills University stand out in today’s education landscape?
A:
Lamrin Tech Skills University stands apart because of its founding principle — “A Class for Masses.”
We exist to empower youth at scale through quality skill-based education that leads directly to employability.
But the real differentiator?
LTSU is shaped by industry minds and aligned with industry demands — a university where relevance is the curriculum.
This isn’t symbolic. It is concrete, measurable, and visible on campus every day.
Our global partners — IBM, L&T, ICA Edu Skills — are not advisory logos. They are present in our labs, classrooms, and training studios… designing curriculum, training students, and integrating international skill standards into our learning ecosystem.
Our collaborations with NSDC and IIT Ropar take this to the next level — connecting national skilling frameworks with deep research, innovation, and industry-ready training culture.
“LTSU doesn’t prepare students for the industry.
The industry prepares students at LTSU.”
Q: LTSU calls itself a skills-first university. How do you implement that philosophy on the ground?
A:
We believe skills are not learned — they are practiced.
At LTSU, students train inside environments that mirror real industry floors:
- IBM Innovation Lab
- L&T-driven engineering & construction technologies
- ICA Edu Skills-led business, accounting & finance labs
- NSDC-aligned multi-skill certification pathways
- Live projects under real industry mentors
- Collaboration-driven research exposure from IIT Ropar
Here, students don’t wait for internships to “see the industry.”
They experience industry culture every semester.
They learn the technical, interpersonal, and behavioural skills required for global roles — from communication, discipline, digital fluency, leadership, to professional ethics and workplace behaviour.
This is why LTSU graduates walk with a sense of readiness that employers can instantly recognise.
Q: Leadership and character-building seem embedded in LTSU’s culture. How intentional is that?
A:
Deeply intentional.
Technical excellence alone cannot create strong professionals.
We want our students to become people-first leaders.
Leaders who manage with empathy, think with clarity, and act with integrity.
That’s why I always say:
“At LTSU, we are raising not just leaders —
we are raising ethically passionate leaders.”
Skill gives competence.
Ethics gives character.
The combination ensures lifelong success.
Our mission integrates:
- Scientific education
- Liberal arts
- India’s rich cultural and ethical foundation
This harmony of skill + values is rare — and it’s what makes LTSU graduates internationally competitive and trusted.
“Ethical strength is a skill too. And at LTSU, it’s a non-negotiable one.”
Q: LTSU is often called one of India’s fastest-emerging industry-led universities. How do these collaborations benefit students?
A:
Our collaborations are not formalities — they are the backbone of our academic structure.
Through partnerships with IBM, L&T, ICA Edu Skills, NSDC, and academic engagements with IIT Ropar, students receive:
- Real-world skill exposure
- Curriculum built and vetted by industry experts
- Practical training from global mentors
- High-value placement pathways in tech, engineering & emerging industries
- Certifications accepted internationally
The result?
Students no longer run behind employers.
Employers come searching for LTSU-trained youth.
Few institutions can claim this, and even fewer can deliver it authentically.
Q: What personally drives you in your role as Training Director & Communications?
A:
I’ve always believed in the transformative power of education.
When I see a young learner from a small town confidently participating in global-tech discussions…
When I witness students stepping into internships or jobs with clarity and competence…
I know we are doing more than teaching.
We are changing lives.
What drives me is the opportunity to build youth who are:
- Skilled
- Ethical
- Emotionally balanced
- Ready to lead
This is not just education — this is transformation.
“When skills meet ethics, students don’t just succeed — they shine.
Skill makes you capable. Ethics make you credible.”
Q: If you had to describe LTSU in one powerful line for our readers, what would it be?
A:
“LTSU is shaping a future where India’s youth are skilled like the world’s best — and grounded like the nation’s finest.”
Q: Your closing message for students, parents, and industry?
To students:
Skill yourself so deeply that opportunity has no option but to follow you.
To parents:
Choose an environment that prepares your child for life, not just a degree.
To industry:
Partner with us. The workforce you dream of is being trained here.
To young India:
Lead with skill.
Stand with ethics.
Rise with courage.
**Lamrin Tech Skills University is more than an institution.
It is architecting India’s skilled and ethical future.**
