Making Symbiosis Proud

Thirty years after globalization in India, the Sanskrit phrase in Upanishad, 'Vasudhaiva Kutumbakkam,' which means 'World is one Family,' is once again finding relevance as India endeavors to reinvent its global outlook economically and culturally. Over the past five decades, Symbiosis International (Deemed) University has been an ambassador of this thought, epitomizing the vision of 'Promoting International Understanding through Quality Education. Symbiosis is a beehive of international students from more than 85 countries all across the globe, being privy to Indian culture and hospitality.

Symbiosis was established in 1971 by S. B. Mujumdar (Chancellor), the Founder & President of the Symbiosis Society, an international educational and cultural center, and chancellor of Symbiosis International University.
