6 004 A Foreign Affair that Founded Symbiosis The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. But, it is the first step that involves deliberation and much hesitation. The Symbiosis journey however began with a surge of enthusiasm spurred on by an incident that, in itself, makes a poignant tale. It was an afternoon on a hot day. I was standing near the window of my house overlooking the first hostel block, of which I was the rector. A strange thing happened. A girl walked up to the window of the boys' hostel room, quickly handed over something and disappeared. My curiosity was aroused and I kept watching the girl walking up to the window day after day and suspected, like any other rector would, that an affair was afoot. So one day, I made up my mind and walked up to the door and knocked. When the door opened, I saw a Mauritian student lying in bed. His face was pale and his eyes seemed to have sunken low. I was puzzled. When I turned to the boy for an explanation, he said, ' Sir, I have an attack of jaundice & I'm feeling extremely weak. I cannot stand up, nor walk a few steps. A girl from my country brings me food. However, since ladies are not allowed to enter the boys' hostel, she hands over the tiffin box through the window.' I was stunned. After all, it wasn't the type of 'affair' I had expected. I was very much pained & decided something had to be done about this. That was the instance, the golden moment that Symbiosis was born. Symbiosis is a term in life science, meaning 'living together of two different organisms, for the benefit of each other'. Dr. Mujumdar, himself a professor of botany, thought this name apt for the institution. Thus the institution was founded to alleviate the problems faced by foreign students coming to India. At the time, these problems included - accommodation, meals, medical care, guidance, coaching, information about the city, etc. Symbiosis has come a long way since then. Today it is a home to students from more than 80 different countries. These students are offered the best learning resources, industry exposure, a strong international students' alumni network, a global recognition, and above all, a truly enriching Indian experience.

7 005 Message by Chancellor I extend a warm welcome to all of you as you join the Symbiosis family. The University is part of the larger Symbiosis family, which is built on the core ideals of Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam - the world is one family. You will find a wealth of opportunities as you begin your journey of higher education, which is about academics, of course, but also a lot more. It is our goal that we succeed in shaping our students to be responsible members of the global citizenry. Symbiosis is appreciative of the enormous responsibility that befalls higher education institutions. I encourage you to avail of all the wonderful teaching-learning and research possibilities that are offered. We, at Symbiosis, believe that play belongs to education as much as studies; therefore, we offer a whole range of first-rate choices that contribute to personal capacity building, such as those in career enhancement, extracurricular activities and recreational facilities. You will find wonderful prospects to share this journey with students from over eighty-five countries and from all over India. We also pride on having with us an amazing pool of talent in our teaching staff, many of whom are noted academics, with substantial international experience. All in all, the educational experience at Symbiosis is designed to be wholesome and one that is authentically international. I hope that your experience at Symbiosis will afford you the opportunities to apply your talents and inspirations to the best use. May God bless you! Padma Bhushan Dr. S. B. Mujumdar Chancellor

8 From the Principal Director's Desk It is my pleasure to welcome you to the new academic year at Symbiosis.

Indeed, internationalization is an institutional mission anchored securely in our founding principles and in our vision statements. Symbiosis is one of the very few institutions in India and abroad that could be said to be born of an individual's appreciation of and crusading for international education.

It is our steady resolve to ensure that the students who come to us are armed with work-readiness competencies and are connected to career networks all over the world.

9 Vice Chancellor's Message 007 I am delighted to welcome you to the Symbiosis International University. It is the University's commitment to serve you in your journey of higher education.

You will find yourself equipped with all the knowledge and know-how that you would need to thrive in the global employment marketplace when you leave us. The idea of internationalization is embedded deep into the institution. The strong presence of international students is one of our most prized feats. These students come from as many as eighty-five countries. Internationalization also means that we set our standards of academic excellence and differentiation at the international level, and no less. We achieve this mainly by bringing in international advances into our pedagogical practices and instructional technology, and by initiating collaborations with foreign universities. The teaching-learning processes are positively forward-looking and centred on the student. Our students avail the most advanced infrastructure both within and outside the classroom. The University campus premises in Pune, Nashik, Bengaluru, NOIDA, and Hyderabad are amongst some of the most impressive campuses you will find in India and elsewhere.

Thus, a whole gamut of extra-curricular and recreational amenities completes the circle of education at the University. That being said, all the opportunities at the University are only as good as what you do with them. I encourage you to put your best efforts into reaping all that you can during your time here. We consider ourselves custodians of the trust that you have placed in us as you take on your journey of higher education. I wish you all the best! Dr. Rajani Gupte Vice Chancellor
