 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Management today is an inter-disciplinary science with
an increasing focus on technology, creativity, and innovation.
At the same time, the fact remains that human capital is the key
differentiator for successful enterprise. How then can individuals
and institutions balance these ever growing paradoxes? Being human
and digital, being global and local, being ethical and profitable, being
futuristic and focused on current priorities. Continuously aligning
and recalibrating strategies to the volatile, uncertain, complex and
ambiguous world we live in, needs leadership and collaboration skills
like never before. At Sri Sri University, our focus is to nurture and
sculpt these skills in our students and groom them into becoming
successful global leaders.
What makes the Sri Sri University Faculty of Commerce and
Management Studies a unique center of education and excellence?
Mrs. Rajita Kulkarni We believe attention to the following important aspects is helping
us rapidly gain recognition as one of the best private universities in
India:
• An innovative academic approach that offers the best knowledge of
the West with the most time tested wisdom of the East,
• A curriculum rich in interactive, self-study & classroom learning,
• Industry projects along with engagement with the wider community,
• Seasoned, experienced & expert faculty members,
• Exposure to international events & speakers,
• Opportunity to be mentored by renowned national & international
indutry leaders,
• Integration of mind management tools & techniques in the
curriculum that nurtures the skills of resilience and emotional
intelligence to respond to the demands of professional responsibilities,
• Training in self-leadership to develop the ability to be agile in an
increasingly dynamic world and,
• A solid foundation of universal human values.

Is this approach working? We would think so, given that in

a short span of a few years we have received the following awards in
recognition of our efforts in this direction:

• ‘Best University in Holistic Education Award 2015’ presented at

Jharkhand Education Excellence Awards 2015,
• ‘Prakruti Mitra Award 2016’ presented by Minister – Forest &
Environment at the Environment Day Event at Odisha Secretariat
organized by the Dept. Forests & Environment,
• ‘Best Innovative University Award 2017’ presented by Smt.
Mridula Sinha, Her Excellency, Governor of Goa at the 2nd National
Education Summit and Educational Excellence Awards 2017,
• ‘Best University – Trendsetting Synthesizer of Traditional and
Global Outlook Award’ presented by Dr. Prakash Javadekar, Hon’ble
Minister for Human Resource Development, Govt. of India at 10th
ASSOCHAM Higher Education Summit, 2017,
• Sri Sri University was adjudged the ‘Second Best Institution in
Agri-Business Management Award’ at the 7th National Conference
and Game Changer Awards, Mumbai, under the Excellence in Agri
Education (Agri-Business Management) category,
4
 One of the biggest compliments any educational institution
can get is when its alumni shine bright by succeeding in their chosen
endeavors. In this short span of less than 5 years, Sri Sri University
alumni have gone on to set up their own ventures, join multinationals,
innovate for social good and chart new territories in new landscapes
of opportunities. It’s common for us to get appreciation from
recruiters about the exceptional skills and attitude of our students
who joined them.

The current batch of our MBA students is a talented, intelligent

and dynamic group of youngsters who are working hard to shape a
great future ahead for themselves and the companies they will work
with. I am confident that with the education they are getting on the
campus, with the strength of their spirit and with the dreams in their
heart, they will be a valuable asset for your organization. We welcome
you to our incredible campus to meet these incredible people.
Welcome to Sri Sri University!
Rajita Kulkarni
President

 MESSAGE FROM THE VICE-CHANCELLOR

Dear Recruiters,
I take this opportunity to proudly introduce you to the Fifth
Batch of our MBA students. My pride stems from the realization of

the University. Together we have worked rigorously to bring about

ethical and professional individuals who are future-ready.

They are raring to accept the challenges of the real world

after graduating from this hallowed institution. In times to come,
our students will be able to stamp their presence and leave behind an
indelible mark in all spheres of work.

Dr. Nand Lal My confidence in the latent ability of my students is also

because of the unique pedagogy followed by the University where
we not only hone their skills and improve their domain knowledge
but also train them in overcoming stress and work-related fatigue.
Meditation and Yoga go a long way in achieving this. Therefore, I
invite you to come and witness for yourselves the developmental
process of young entrepreneurs and professionals of the future. I am
confident that after doing so, you would happily like these young and
enthusiastic people to associate with your organization, and through

 ‘KRISHIMUKH’ AGRIBUSINESS CONCLAVE 2016

“Agriculture is the most healthful, most useful and most noble employment of man.” - George
Washington

The University takes distinct pride in being one of the few academic institutions in India which
offer management degrees in the expansive and critical domain of Agriculture. With a view to reaffirm our
relentless allegiance to holistic, progressive, sustainable and at the same time, commercially viable agricultural
endeavours, the students of Agribusiness Management, on December 21, 2016, organised the inaugural
Agribusiness Conclave – Krishimukh.

Krishimukh 2016 was essentially a tribute to the vast farming and rural communities of our nation and
a deliberation on how to resolve the age old challenges that this sector has been grappling with, particularly
in the last few decades. In a bold move away from the traditional approach of research paper presentation,
the Conclave invited its participating students to conceptualise effective marketing strategies, tailor made for
agricultural and organic produce. Subsequently, they were directed towards brainstorming for business plans
aimed at facilitating self-sustainability and economic independence for an entire village/rural community. To
inspire the students and kindle the spirit of entrepreneurship in this crucial domain, the University invited
visionaries such as Dr. B. Prabhakar Rao, Trustee, Sri Sri Institute of Agricultural Sciences, Lt. Col. Ashit
Mahapatra (Retd.) - CEO Agri Link Food Processing Pvt. Ltd. and Mr. Harshad Joshi - CEO, Maahi Dairy. The
dignitaries unanimously called for rapid adaptation, aligning with global technological advancements and the
paramount pursuit of self-sufficiency by the restructuring of Indian agriculture.

Mr. Kishan is a work dedicated guy who quickly understood

what the expectations were from the project & put all efforts to
