Adani Cement Launches FutureX to Bridge Academia & Industry on Engineers’ Day

On Engineers’ Day, Adani Cement, the world’s ninth-largest building materials and solutions company and part of the diversified Adani Group, announced the launch of Adani Cement FutureX — a nationwide academia–industry engagement programme aimed at connecting classrooms with real-world infrastructure and sustainability challenges.

The launch of FutureX comes as an industry-led initiative to create a future-ready workforce aligned with the Government’s Yogya Bharat Mission and the Ministry of Education’s focus on bridging employability and entrepreneurship skill gaps. The programme seeks to harness India’s demographic dividend while providing skilled human capital for Viksit Bharat 2047.

Through FutureX, Adani Cement will engage with over 100 premier engineering institutions, including IITs, NITs, and leading private/state colleges, as well as 100+ schools across 100+ cities. Designed as a continuum, from curiosity to careers, the initiative ensures that young talent is equipped with the knowledge and skills to drive sustainable nation-building.

Vinod Bahety, CEO – Cement Business, Adani Group, said, “Adani Cement FutureX is our commitment to India’s vision of Viksit Bharat 2047. While the Government is shaping the Yogya Bharat Mission to empower youth with employability and entrepreneurial skills, our initiative complements this effort by creating real-world learning bridges across schools and campuses. From Smart Cement Labs to robotics, AI-enabled innovation, decarbonisation research, and career pathways, we are ensuring that India’s young talent is not only employable but also entrepreneurial.

The power of youth is the driving force behind Viksit Bharat, and we strongly believe in ‘Padhega India toh Badhega India’. While cement builds the nation’s infrastructure, FutureX will help build the aspirations and capabilities of GenZ India, aligning talent, innovation and responsibility to fuel our country’s growth.”
