GANDHINAGAR, India, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Deakin University’s GIFT City Campus, India, has welcomed its third cohort of students, marking another important milestone in the University’s 32-year journey of engagement in India, with India, for India.

As India’s first international university branch campus, Deakin has rapidly evolved from a pioneering initiative to a proven model of global education delivered locally. In just over two years, the campus has successfully welcomed three student cohorts, celebrated its first graduates, completed its inaugural placement cycle, and built a thriving ecosystem of more than 60 industry partners.

The latest cohort has joined Deakin’s globally recognised postgraduate programmes in Business Analytics and Cyber Security, designed for India’s rapidly growing digital economy. With equal representation of male and female students and enrolments from across the country, led by Gujarat, the cohort reflects growing trust in Deakin’s GIFT City Campus and the increasing appeal of its innovative education model.

Ravneet Pawha, Vice President (Global Engagement) and CEO (South Asia), Deakin University, said, “Welcoming our third cohort is much more than an enrolment milestone. It demonstrates that international education can successfully combine global quality with Indian relevance. That is the vision of NEP 2020, and the vision Deakin has been committed to delivering from day one.”

“For over 32 years, Deakin has worked alongside India as a trusted education and knowledge partner. Today, our GIFT City Campus is helping build the future-ready talent and industry capability that will power India’s knowledge economy.”

Dr Deepak Bajaj, Academic and Campus Director, Deakin University GIFT City Campus, said: “As our campus continues to grow, so does the opportunity to shape the next generation of professionals for India’s rapidly evolving knowledge economy. We warmly welcome our newest students and look forward to nurturing their potential through globally benchmarked education, immersive industry experiences and a collaborative learning environment that prepares them to create meaningful impact from day one.”

Located in India’s premier international financial and innovation hub, the GIFT City Campus offers students an industry-integrated learning experience that combines academic excellence with real-world exposure. Students engage directly with leading organisations through live projects, internships, masterclasses, mentoring opportunities and career-readiness initiatives.

Today, Deakin’s industry network includes more than 60 organisations, among them National Australia Bank (NAB), HSBC, ANZ, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Macquarie, EY, BHP, ICICI Bank, India INX, Adani Group and Forensic CyberTech.

Every student currently undertakes live industry projects as part of their learning experience, while graduates from the inaugural cohort have already secured opportunities with leading Indian and multinational organisations. Several employers have also returned to recruit from subsequent cohorts, reflecting growing confidence in the talent emerging from the campus.

Sharing reflections after the industry orientation programme as part of the new student orientation, Diya Rajesh Jimuliya, a student of Master of Business Analytics, said, “It was an extremely motivating session. We got to know what skills would matter in the future. We came to know that we must remain agile and adapt to the changes every day while we learn how to control the controllables.”

Industry leaders have also acknowledged the preparedness and awareness demonstrated by Deakin students.

Shefali Gaur, Technical Leader, IBM Service Engineering, Americas, who addressed students during orientation, said, “What stood out for me was that the students know what’s happening in the industry, about disruption, AI and even ethical use of AI. That impressed me as much as their curiosity and willingness to engage. “

As India continues to open its higher education ecosystem to global participation, Deakin’s GIFT City Campus serves as a strong example of how international universities can broaden access to world-class education while contributing directly to national priorities in workforce development, innovation and economic growth.

About Deakin University GIFT City Campus: Deakin University, ranked among the top 1% of global universities, made history as the first international university to establish a branch campus in India, with operations at GIFT City, Gandhinagar.

CHICAGO, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CamoAg Inc., an industry-leading agriculture intelligence company that’s fundamentally reshaping how agribusinesses better understand and serve their producer customers, today announced a multi-year partnership agreement with Pivot Bio, one of agriculture’s leading companies. Under the new agreement, Pivot Bio will deploy the CamoAg platform’s advanced geospatial, data and intelligence tools to its operations.

The CamoAg platform, which is used by top retailers, input companies, lenders and other partners to improve decision-making, provides visibility into more than one million connected operations with over 800 million farmland acres analyzed across the U.S. The platform connects fragmented agricultural data into actionable insights, enabling agribusinesses to better understand market opportunities, improve customer engagement, optimize territory planning and make more informed go-to-market decisions.

“The partnership reflects a broader shift taking place across agriculture as agribusinesses increasingly seek to better understand producers, land and market opportunity in an increasingly complex operating environment,” said Corbett Kull, Founder and CEO of CamoAg. “Pivot Bio is helping reshape the future of crop nutrition, and this partnership is about enabling the company through stronger market understanding and more informed data and research.”

The announcement marks another milestone in CamoAg’s rapid growth as agribusinesses increasingly adopt modern data and intelligence tools across the ag value chain. As organizations across agriculture become more strategic in how they approach local markets, intelligence tools are becoming a foundational component across the industry.

“Agriculture has no shortage of data–the challenge is turning it into something commercial teams can actually use to make better decisions,” Kull added. “The companies that win over the next decade will be the ones that understand their customers and markets better than anyone else. We believe that’s where CamoAg can create enormous value.”

Statewide “Bring It Home for Kids” campaign expands access to early language, learning and family support programs during the years that matter most.

DETROIT, July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gardner White and Children’s Foundation of Michigan today announced the launch of Bring It Home for Kids, a statewide campaign dedicated to helping Michigan’s youngest children build the language, literacy and developmental skills that lay the foundation for lifelong success. The initiative will raise funds to expand access to programs ensuring more children enter kindergarten healthy, confident and ready to succeed while inviting communities across the state to invest in Michigan’s next generation.

The partnership is rooted in a shared belief that investing in children today creates a better Michigan for tomorrow.

“Every child deserves a foundation that sets them up for a bright future,” said Rachel Stewart, CEO of Gardner White. “Research has shown that the earliest years of life shape everything that follows, and we know that strong language and literacy skills begin long before a child ever walks into a classroom. At Gardner White, we’ve always believed our responsibility extends beyond the homes we furnish to the communities we call home. Investing in children and families is one of the most meaningful ways we can strengthen the communities we serve.”

By age five, 90% of brain development is already complete, making those early years one of the greatest opportunities to influence a child’s future success in school, health and life. Yet for many Michigan families, access to quality early childhood resources and support remains out of reach. Through Bring It Home for Kids, Gardner White and Children’s Foundation of Michigan are working to help close the gap.

“We’re incredibly grateful to Gardner White for their commitment to Michigan’s children and families,” said Andrew Stein, President & CEO of the Children’s Foundation of Michigan. “When businesses step forward to support children during the earliest years of life, the impact extends far beyond today. Together, we’re helping more children get the healthy start they deserve and creating stronger communities for generations to come.”

HOW IT WORKS
From July 9 through August 4, Gardner White will donate $50 for every qualifying in-store purchase of $500 or more to the Children’s Foundation of Michigan, turning every purchase into an investment in Michigan’s next generation while helping ensure more children have access to the resources they need during critical developmental years. The campaign will run at all Gardner White Michigan locations during this period, with the soon-to-open Gardner White Grand Rapids location participating August 6 through September 1.

Together, the funds raised will:

Expand access to quality early childhood education, healthcare and family support services.Increase developmental screenings, including hearing, vision and oral health.Grow early language, learning and literacy programs across Michigan.Equip parents and caregivers to become their child’s first and most influential teacher.Help more children enter school healthy, confident and ready to learn.

FUNDING PROCESS
Funding raised through Bring It Home for Kids will be distributed through the Children’s Foundation of Michigan’s established grantmaking process. Organizations interested in applying will be invited to submit proposals once funding priorities and application details are announced following the campaign.

Using the Foundation’s existing review process helps ensure funding is awarded transparently and directed to the programs that can have the greatest impact for Michigan’s children and families.
