The Indo-German Chamber of Commerce (IGCC) is excited to announce a strategic partnership with UnternehmerTUM, Europe’s leading center for innovation and business creation. Through this collaboration, Digital Product School (DPS) — UnternehmerTUM’s flagship training program — is being launched in India for the very first time.

This partnership represents a timely and powerful response to one of India’s most pressing needs: upskilling the existing workforce for a digital, innovation-driven economy.

Why Upskilling the Workforce Matters

India is home to one of the largest working-age populations in the world. While the country has made significant strides in IT services, manufacturing, and global delivery models, much of the existing workforce still operates in environments where legacy systems, siloed teams, and linear thinking dominate.

With industries now undergoing rapid digital transformation — across sectors such as automotive, finance, healthcare, logistics, and retail — there is a critical need to re-skill professionals to think, build, and collaborate differently.

The Digital Product School (DPS) addresses this gap head-on.

Part of the UnternehmerTUM, DPS is an intensive training program that equips professionals with key capabilities needed in today’s innovation economy:

  • Product Thinking: Moving beyond tasks to understand user needs, create value, and drive digital product strategy
  • Agile Development: Adopting lean, iterative ways of working that foster speed and adaptability
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Breaking silos and enabling engineers, designers, and business leads to work together seamlessly
  • Global Exposure: Accessing proven frameworks, expert mentoring, and real-world case studies from Europe’s leading innovation ecosystem

A New Era of Indo-German Workforce Development

This initiative reflects IGCC’s long-standing mission to foster meaningful Indo-German collaboration in trade, industry, and human capital development. UnternehmerTUM brings deep expertise in developing innovation talent for some of Germany’s top corporates — making this partnership ideal for adapting global best practices to India’s local contexts.

Together, we aim to support businesses in India — large enterprises, MSMEs, and institutions alike — as they invest in future-proofing their teams through world-class training that is practical, hands-on, and globally relevant.

This initiative also complements India’s national priorities around Digital India, Skill India, and Startup India, while aligning with Germany’s efforts to deepen international innovation partnerships under its Indo-Pacific strategy.

What to Expect

The launch of DPS in India will open new pathways for industry, young professionals and students to engage with global best practices, networks, and cutting-edge tools for digital product innovation. It’s a unique opportunity to shape the next generation of product leaders who can drive meaningful, scalable impact across industries.

Whether you're a business leader seeking to upskill your teams or a professional aiming to stay ahead of the curve, DPS India is your gateway to global innovation capabilities — now closer to home than ever before.
