Indian Land Residents Graduate with Master’s Degrees from Trine University

INDIAN LAND, S.C. — Two local scholars are celebrating a major academic milestone this week after graduating from Trine University at the conclusion of the Spring 2026 semester.

As the business world increasingly relies on data-driven decision-making, these Indian Land residents have equipped themselves to lead the charge. The local graduates include:

  • Durga Harshitha Motupalli, who earned a Master of Science in Business Analytics.

  • Sanket Ramesh Saharkar, who also earned a Master of Science in Business Analytics.

The advanced degree program focuses on translating complex data into actionable corporate strategy, preparing graduates to tackle modern challenges in global tech, finance, and logistics sectors.

While Motupalli and Saharkar call Lancaster County home, their alma mater is anchored in Angola, Indiana. Founded in 1884, Trine University is a highly regarded, private institution known for its rigorous academic programs spanning engineering, health professions, and business.

Congratulations to Durga and Sanket on their hard work and achievement!
