INDIA’S MOSTSOUGHT AFTERPRIVATE UNIVERSITY

(Established under Galgotias University Uttar Pradesh Act No. 14 of 2011)

“If you only do what you know you can do, you never do very much,” and “Dharmaha rakshyati dharmasya,” are two of Suneel Galgotia’s favourite quotes - and he lives by them. Looking back at Suneel Galgotia’s career, it is a graph of energy continually invested in ever newer ways to fly in new directions. And a strong belief that right actions that benefit the largest number will ultimately yield nothing but positivity for all – including the doer. A graph that today reveals large institutional footprints in publishing, retail, education and hospitality – all under the Galgotias brand. “My brand is my name, and I personally stand behind it whenever anyone reaches out for the quality I offer. It is about much more than standing for consistent quality for the consumer. My brand stands for everything I have believed in and worked to build to standards of unprecedented excellence in those domains.” Suneel Galgotia’s family’s deep involvement with books and education, began in the 1930s, in Connaught Place, New Delhi, with a retail outlet for books, under the marquee of E.D. Galgotia and Sons. Suneel Galgotia finished his education at St. Columba’s School and Shri Ram College of Commerce and with Rs. 500 in his pocket, began his quest for serious entrepreneurship in the early 1980s with a publishing venture. He grabbed the nascent computer boom and used the then new technology to progressively leap-frog the business – first with Indian

authors and later with foreign authors and publishers. Very shortly, Galgotias became the leading publisher of computer and tech-books in India. In the 1990’s, he set up a one-of-a-kind, one stop-book shop for the finest technical and computer books, magazines and other related products in Noida. The venture went national very rapidly. From there, a venture into education was a natural progression and he began Galgotias Institute of Management & Technology (GIMT) in 2000 with just 40 students. Galgotias Educational Institutions has moved on to include Galgotias College of Engineering and Technology (GCET) and Galgotias Business School (GBS). Today GCET alone has over 4,500 students. All the institutions are regularly ranked among the finest in the country by several surveys conducted by the national media – on academic and placement parameters. The changing environment has ensured an increasing demand for institutions which are maintaining high academic standards that result in excellent academic performance and record placements year after year - and Galgotias aims to stay in that premium academic space. Suneel Galgotia’s vision in the field of education has just culminated in the establishment of Galgotias University, at Greater Noida. Galgotias University has established as its mandate, that its meritorious and diligent student body will

be exposed to a globally benchmarked set of teaching pedagogies, world-best educational practices and a never-before, industry-guided syllabus, superbly taught by a world-class faculty. He speaks about the current situation in the education industry saying, “The education industry is evolving positively and is leading to healthy but severe competition. Only the finest educational institutions will survive.” Galgotias University imbues each student with Thinking Quotient and its learning system is already hugely industry-relevant due to corporate tie-ups and support. The entire Galgotias learning experience is regularly awarded top honors and accolades by leading global corporate and the national media.

Sensing the demand for high quality hospitality Suneel Galgotia has sallied forth into the hospitality sector. A recently set up luxury boutique business hotel in Gurgaon is being followed by a super-luxury, seven star property right next to the F1 racing track at Greater Noida. A medical and dental college cum hospital in Greater Noida and finally in all major states is now on the cards.

An avid reader, a fitness enthusiast and a strict follower of timeless family values, Suneel Galotia is a foodie and loves checking out new restaurants over weekends. A fitness fiend, he works out everyday at his private gym and is a regular swimmer, despite his punishing work schedule. In line with his desire to accomplish more, golf is the game he wants to pick up soon. Paraphrases Suneel Galgotia, “As the saying goes, destiny is not a matter of chance, it is a matter of choice; it is not a thing to be waited for, it is something that we must all achieve.”

Galgotias University, firmly believes that it is education that primarily drives a nation’s development. Quality education produces quality professionals. Galgotias clearly understands that the right education and study environment, ample resources, healthy competitive culture, uninhibited interaction, passion to teach and learn - all go into making tomorrow’s achievers.

Galgotias believes, that for India to become a world leader in innovation, it needs an ecosystem that develops mature Thinking Quotient as a continuous process. Galgotias University grooms its students to rigorously acquire a discipline and equips them with the ability to apply it, to excel in all situations. We call this Thinking Quotient. And this is why Galgotias are awarded and certified so highly, time and again. Galgotias University continually innovates in the areas of course content and pedagogy, so as to engineer the finest educational outcome across a large student body.

Galgotias highly accomplished faculty are handpicked from top institutions all over the globe and are the institution’s core strength. The infrastructure, research orientation and student quality at Galgotias University, are now attracting faculty from renowned international universities such as Georgia Tech, University of Arkansas, Purdue University and University of Oakland in the

U.S.A.; and National University of Singapore.

Galgotias University constantly works towards teaching students ‘how’ to learn and not just ‘what’ to learn. Galgotias University students are empowered for excellent careers and for life itself, through an excellent combination of factors: an education process second to none, a faculty made doubly relevant by the presence of industry stalwarts; and global educational associations and relevant industry tie-ups with and support from blue-chip organisations such as Infosys. Surveys reveal placement figures at 100%, year after year.

No wonder the Galgotias learning experience is regularly awarded top honours and accolades by leading global corporates and the national media. Surveys conducted by leading national media publications such as Dataquest, Outlook, Business India, The Week and Career 360 have ranked Galgotias amongst the top institutes of higher learning.
