During a meeting with Telangana Chief Minister A.

On August 1, Reddy announced in the state Assembly that Adani Logistics would partner with the Young India Skills University. The Assembly subsequently passed the Young India Skill University Telangana (Public-Private Partnership) Bill-2024, paving the way for a university designed to equip students with skills tailored to industry needs.
Notably, the School of E-commerce and Logistics will be launched in collaboration with Adani Logistics and O9 Solutions, with partner companies responsible for curriculum design, student training, and job placements.
Starting November 4, the university will introduce its first courses, initially hosted at the Engineering Staff College of India (ESCI) and the National Academy of Construction in Hyderabad. In its inaugural year, the university aims to train 2,000 young people across three schools: the School of Logistics and E-Commerce, the School of Healthcare, and the School of Pharmaceuticals and Life Sciences. The board of the university is chaired by renowned industrialist Anand Mahindra.
