Warangal: Kakatiya Institute of Technology and Science (KITSW) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with BotsIn LLC, USA, to promote innovation, internships, and industry-oriented learning.
The collaboration was announced by Principal Prof. K. Ashoka Reddy. He stated that the MoU was facilitated by Avinash Puli, a distinguished alumnus from the 1995–1999 B.Tech CSE batch and founder of BotsIn LLC.
Avinash Puli has over two decades of international experience across manufacturing, IT, pharma, and government sectors. He has worked with organisations such as University of Dayton, Delphi Automotive Systems, Techmetals Inc., State of Indiana, and Eli Lilly and Company.
