To be a center of repute in the frontier areas of Food Technology through quality research and education.
1. To impart knowledge in the realm of food technology through research and education.
2. To nurture professional leaders in the field of food technology with entrepreneurship skills.
3. To cultivate strong ethical values for sustainable growth in food processing to fulfill the needs of the society
Food Technology has been identified as the sunrise industry due to its enormous impact & significance in the Indian development sector. The importance of food processing & quality control lies in the fact that it has the capability to provide food to our population through scientific conservations, eliminating available losses and making available more balanced & nutritious food. The Department of Food Technology was established in the year 2015 towards the objective to provide excellent teaching, practical training facilities in the frontier areas of Food Technology.
Department of Food Technology has collaborated with leading industries and research labs in India and abroad. The major collaborating industries are TAFE, SAP, Siemens, and FORD etc. In addition, the department also having collaboration with scientist and professors from various research labs in India such as DRDO Bangalore, NIIST Trivandrum, IISC Bangalore, IGCAR Kalpakkam, CSIR-CECRI, Karaikudi, IIT Delhi, NIT Suratkal, PSG Tech Coimbatore, etc, Moreover, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering have collaboration in the research aspect with foreign professors and research labs in various countries such as Brazil, Thailand, Turkey, Malaysia, South Korea, USA etc.

I am very delightful that I am selected to work with Capgemini Knowledge Park and I am looking forward to this new challenging opportunity. I would express my sincere thanks to Kalasalingam Academy of Research and Education particularly the Department of Biomedical engineering for providing me immense knowledge and persistent guidance to achieve this position. I am extremely grateful to the faculties of Department of Biomedical engineering for infusing me the strength and enthusiasm to develop all my skills. I was very fortunate to utilize each and every opportunity provided by the Institution and Department as well. Explore more, learn to communicate and be curious while learning were the morale which I understood and began practicing to till date, where they have been circumventing in my mind during my four years of stay at KARE. The Department of Biomedical Engineering greatly helped me in goal-setting, and this has been the beacon for me to reach to greater heights, and it has become true on my inception to Capgemini Knowledge Park.
