Pune (Maharashtra) [India], September 9: Zenaws, the cloud-labs platform for governed, usage-based technical training, announced a strategic partnership with Trinity Academy of Engineering (TAE) – a flagship institute of KJ’s Educational Institutes (KJEI) – and 3C IT Solutions & Telecoms (India) Ltd. (3C ITS) to establish a Campus Cloud Lab Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Pune. The launch will be inaugurated by Shri Prakash Javadekar, Chairperson of the National Tiger Conservation Authority and former Union Minister for HRD, and Shri Kalyan Jadhav, Founder-President, KJEI.

The Zenaws-powered CoE enables lab-in-the-cloud experiences for students and faculty; no new server rooms or hardware refresh cycles. Departments will be able to spin up AI/GPU, Cybersecurity, Cloud Foundations, Data/ML, and DevOps environments in minutes, while administrators maintain guardrails (auto time-offs, quotas, spend caps) and NAAC-ready evidence through built-in analytics.
What the partnership delivers
- On-demand labs at any scale: CPU/RAM/GPU sandboxes that expand and contract with actual usage.
- Governed costs: Real-time meters, per-cohort budgets, and automated shutdown policies to prevent “cloud creep.”
- Academic outcomes: Tamper-proof submissions, outcome dashboards, and NAAC-aligned documentation for SSR/DVV.
- Industry alignment: Lab templates mapped to workplace stacks; support for hackathons, mini-projects, and internships.
Commenting on the launch, the Trinity Academy of Engineering leadership said:
“For us, practical engineering is judged by what students can actually build. This centre lets every learner open a production-grade lab from a browser, while the institute keeps tight control on access, cost and evidence. It’s a faster, smarter way to expand hands-on learning.” — Kalyan Jadhav, Founder President, KJEI
TAE, part of the KJEI group of institutions in Pune, is known for multi-disciplinary engineering programs and infrastructure that supports applied learning. (kjei.edu.in)
