Introduction
With growing economy, India is also witnessing the growth of education sector. However, Indian
industry is not so convinced about the job-readiness of the graduates. There is an urgent need that
Indian Industries and Academia come together and address some of the underlying challenges.
Academia and Industry are two different worlds which operate on different pedestals. Both have
different purposes and different ideologies. However, the rapid pace of change in the outside
environment is compelling these two different worlds to come together to address and solve some of
the real-world challenges. As per the recent statistics, the education sector in India is poised to witness
major growth in the years to come as India will have world’s largest tertiary-age population and second
largest graduate talent pipeline globally by the end of 2020. India’s economy is also expected to grow
at a fast pace; rapid industrialization would require a gross incremental workforce of ~250 million by
2030; India could potentially emerge as a global supplier of skilled manpower.

We are a group of individuals with (avg.) 10yrs experience and are passionate about helping students
BRIDGE the gap between the Academic & the Industry and then thinking BEYOND. While
brainstorming, we came up with an idea to have a short series of lectures for students on various
topics that would be really helpful for them. The series of lectures would be both technical and non-
technical and would be completely free of cost. The first of such series is to be conducted soon. The
average duration of each talk is about 60 mins.

“Why are we studying this?” This was a question many of us faced in our college days. Not sure how

college that have direct use in the industry. Simply paying attention in them will put you ahead in the
industry. Figure out the subjects that are not important.

Industry. Th talk will talk about Office Politics, Balancing, Project Manager’s expectation, 360 degree
feedback. And believe me you – this one doesn’t prick like a needle !!

8. Server-Side Rendering with NextJS and React

In most of the applications the loading time of the first page should be minimum. SSR is another way
to handle this. With SSR we can make API calls from the UI server to the backend server, get a quick
reply, create the entire html page with the response and send it to the browser which reduces time in
loading assets & javascript on the client side. Every page is independent of each other and
bundles assets only for that page which reduces the build time. NextJS fits well with the rest of the
JavaScript, Node, and React ecosystem. CSS in JS is another concept which comes inherited with
NextJS which deals with CSS for that particular page and components built within it. You can import
JavaScript modules and React Components dynamically to avoid asset loading on page load. Majority
of projects have switched from client-side rendering to SSR to get a stable ecosystem and
performance of the application. This talk will upskill you to latest industry trend !!
