Mumbai, August 19, 2025 — Softlink Academy, the skill development arm of Softlink Global, signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with EXIM Management Services, a logistics-focused training and consultancy firm, and SNDT Women’s College, Pune, a century-old institution empowering women through higher education.

This collaboration is a first-of-its-kind industry–academia–government initiative aimed at bridging the skills gap in India's Export-Import (EXIM) and logistics sector, particularly for women professionals. The MoU enables a commercial collaboration that trains and empowers students — especially women — in EXIM logistics through certified programs, digital tools, and real-world exposure.

What This Means for Students and the Industry
Real-time industry exposure: Students get trained on Logi-Sys, an Intelligent Cloud ERP used by freight and logistics companies globally.

Practical and curriculum-integrated training: Focused on documentation, customs compliance, shipment lifecycle, and digital operations.

Industry mentorship and placement pathways: Students ...
... gain career-ready insights and job opportunities within the logistics and EXIM sectors.

By combining academic learning with real-world application, the program will produce a skilled, confident, and future-ready workforce capable of meeting the demands of global trade. Historically, women have been underrepresented in EXIM and logistics due to limited access to specialized training and persistent gender biases. Partnering with SNDT Women’s College marks a purposeful step towards creating a more inclusive and diverse industry.

Quote from Mr. Amit Maheshwari, Founder & CEO, Softlink Global

insight and innovation,” said Mr. Anand Paranjape, Owner, Exim Management Services.

“EMS and Softlink, in collaboration with SNDT Women’s College, Pune, are shaping the future of women in EXIM. Because an enlightened woman is a source of infinite strength — we’re empowering with practical skills, digital tools, and industry-ready knowledge,” quoted SNDT University.
