Founder's Vision
Dr. Sunder Raju
Founder & Chancellor
Atria University
“Run the rat race to qualify for the best, on metrics that have no true bearing on how prepared they will be for the world they will step into.”
A man once said, deeply unsettled by how many pedigreed institutions function as filters to acquire the best students and thrive off their legacy, with no thought of how to enable or inspire them.
After a prolific career spanning four decades and across industries, Sunder Raju returned to his long coveted dream of establishing an institute that recognised students as the autonomous learners they are. In 2020, this dream became a reality through Atria University.
Atria University, fuelled by the intellectual curiosities and expertise of some of India and the world's brightest, is attempting to address the challenge of tomorrow by stitching together disparate learnings into a single holistic process, exemplified by its motto — Learning to Learn.
