Press Release – 18 August 2026

Greater Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India – Galgotias University announced that four student‑developed iOS applications have been featured on Apple’s website as part of a story and video highlighting university‑level developer programmes.

Apps Highlighted

  • Sakhi – created by Karan Kumar and Arpita Gupta, a menstrual‑health companion that combines cycle tracking with an emergency assistance feature for women.
  • AutiCare – built by Sudhanshu Kumar and Sourabh Singh, an early‑autism‑screening tool for parents and caregivers.
  • ToyVista – developed by Madhav Sharma and Ansh Kalra, uses augmented‑reality to let shoppers visualise toys before purchase.
  • PrepLoop – led by Shams Tabrej Alam, simulates real interview environments and provides AI‑generated feedback to help students prepare for job interviews.

Each application originated as a passion project rather than a coursework assignment, reflecting the programme’s emphasis on turning ideas into shipped software that reaches real users.

Programme Structure and Impact

The iOS Student Developer Program integrates Swift and Xcode directly into the curriculum, moving students from theory to production‑level code. The hands‑on approach is evidenced by the increase in Apple Swift Student Challenge winners from ten in 2025 to eighteen in 2026, demonstrating growing talent within the university.

Industry Linkages

The university highlighted its connections with industry partners, notably Infosys, which provides early exposure to commercial applications of the students’ work and supports career‑readiness through portfolio development alongside academic transcripts.

Leadership Quote

"This recognition belongs to our students. What they have built, and the effort behind it, underscores their innovation and determination to use technology for building socially relevant apps that solve real world problems, and it is a proud moment to see that hard work recognised on a global platform," said Dr. Dhruv Galgotia, CEO of Galgotias University.
