July 28, 2025 | Panaji, Goa: Srinivassa Sinai Dempo College of Commerce and Economics, an esteemed educational institution recently granted autonomous status, has taken a bold leap into the future of education. Through a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Mumbai-based edtech firm LeapUp, the college has launched an initiative designed to seamlessly integrate 30-hour online certification courses into the existing academic curriculum.
This initiative marks a significant milestone in reshaping the educational landscape of Goa. “This is more than just an upgrade — it’s a transformational move toward future-ready education,” said Prof. Dr. Manoj Kamat, Principal of Dempo College. The primary goal? To ensure students graduate with both academic knowledge and job-market-ready skills.
Courses — all offered at no additional cost — span high-demand domains like Artificial Intelligence, Equity Research, Stock Trading, Six Sigma, Financial Modelling, Lateral Thinking, and Retail Business. Students will benefit from a flexible curriculum structure that includes both compulsory and optional modules, with audit options for extra learning.
LeapUp, co-founded by CA Harshit Shah and Ronak Gala, brings to the table a powerful LMS platform, a curated lineup of industry veterans as mentors, and rigorous assessments to monitor attendance and progress. This structure ensures a high standard of engagement and skill acquisition for every student.
“This collaboration is a blend of vision and execution. We’re not just talking about future-readiness — we’re building it into the system,” said co-founder Ronak Gala. Harshit Shah added that the entire program is exclusively available for Dempo College students in Goa, with self-paced learning, live sessions, and practical assignments.
The launch event was graced by college dignitaries including Vice Principal Dr. Sangeeta Chakravorty, Dean Prof. Deepali Churi, HoD Commerce Derina Rodrigues, and faculty members Asst Prof. Amit Naik, Gilbert Mendes, Shashi Yadav, and Vishwa Pai Raikar.
The LeapUp-Dempo initiative stands as a testament to what modern education can achieve when innovation meets intent — and sets a benchmark for institutions across India to follow.
