3 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 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

27 ‘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.

We needed more experienced people from India. Therefore, we visited Sri Sri University. After my visit I was very impressed by the total i.e. the location, the knowledge and the atmosphere. I met 10 students and they pitched their ideas to me, which they did really well. I was really impressed by the management and the things they said which I was recollecting all my way back and which will remain with me all my life. - Ms. Anja Jessurun Director Shankara, Health and Wellness by Ayurveda Netherlands, Europe

Mr. Kishan is a work dedicated guy who quickly understood what the expectations were from the project & put all efforts to achieve the same. He was punctual throughout the SIP. The most important thing is, even not being from engineering background, he grasped the project so quickly and delivered it very well. This speaks of his dedication and commitment for the work.
