Dear Student:
Greetings from Alliance University!
Not long ago, education merely meant the transfer of knowledge from the teacher to the taught. Today,
education is much more than that and it ought to aim at achieving the active use of knowledge and skill in
ways that are decidedly enlightened, noble and legacy creating. After all, if it is mere information that one
seeks, then a vast and growing repository of digitized content is readily available to be easily accessed.
At Alliance University, we strive to reach out, educate, mentor, guide and champion all those who choose to
be part of this great University. The key differentiator at Alliance University has its genesis in its ethos. Its
ethos of student centeredness, which guides every action at Alliance and is central to its founding
philosophy of creating and sustaining a community of lifelong learners, in an environment of literacy and
critical thinking who can contribute significantly as value creators to the greater social wellbeing. Guiding
this core value system at the University is a leadership that believes in the universalization of education for
humanity.
Alliance University stands for excellence. The pursuit of excellence in all its myriad dimensions is a
continuous and relentless endeavor at the University, and it follows an eclectic and inclusive approach that
is committed to take the benefits of education and learning to the society at large. This is amply
demonstrated in its magnificent infrastructure—comparable to the best in the world that facilitates learning
for life.
The courses and programs offered at Alliance University have been crafted with care and devotion,
reflecting not just the realities of the marketplace but the very future that it is helping to define. The rigorous,
research-oriented faculty community excels in inspiring learning in the classroom. The staff is truly
committed, warm and friendly. With a deep focus on its key constituents, the community of scholars at the
University strives to push the frontiers of education and set higher standards. Together, these are a
remarkable combination that can shape your careers and transform you into the extraordinary.
I invite you to be a part of this exciting learning experience.

Alumni Speak
On completing my high school, an undergraduate
course of study in engineering was a natural
progression for me just like most other students in
India. My preferred choice of postgraduate study
indeed was a business degree course but only if I
were to succeed in gaining admission to a premier
business school in India. Rigorous preparation for
the admissions process thus led to my first choice
among business schools—Alliance School of
Business, Alliance University. This left me
wondering with an unanswered question:
“MBA—will it make a difference to my professional
career?” This was really my best shot at getting
somewhere in life when most of my batch mates
were already settled. I had found a new purpose.
This was in 2004. Fast forward to 2013: I now run an
online marketing firm along with two other partners
where we strategize marketing campaigns for other
online companies based in the United Kingdom and
Europe. We are on a growth trajectory that would
make us a million dollar company within the next two
years. So what has made the difference? I
understood that purpose and thought are the two
main change agents in my professional career. As
an alumni my Alma mater, Alliance University, was
instrumental in my transformation for I realized that
at the University students are encouraged to think
through situations, decipher contexts, and embrace
complexity—all contributing to a decided
independence in thought. At Alliance University, we
were trained to think differently, which perhaps holds
the key to my success today. Success is not a
destination but a journey and Alliance University
walked with me every step of the way on this difficult
path, and most significantly kindled within me an
urge to demonstrate a passion for entrepreneurship.

As a proud alumna of this great institution, I reminisce about my days as a management student at the Alliance School of Business with awe and nostalgia. I am grateful to my faculty mentors for facilitating my transformation into a management professional with versatile skill sets. The management course at the School imparted both strong subject-matter expertise as well as the soft skills of career preparation, skills sets that have helped me to excel in high performance teams. My Alma mater has contributed significantly to my career growth and professional accomplishments as a senior human resource manager with TAS, the India subsidiary of Time Warner. I am grateful to the Alliance School of Business for taking me through this fulfilling and rewarding journey.

The Doctoral Degree Program at Alliance University
is a rigorous and intense academic research course
that prepares doctoral graduates to pursue a career
in business academia at universities worldwide. The
course is comparable to the best doctoral offerings
globally with teaching and guidance by highly
accomplished faculty.

As an alumnus of the class of 2007, I fondly
reminisce about my exhilarating student days at
Alliance School of Business, Alliance University. The
living and learning experience at Alliance University
was unmatched for its excellence. What is
particularly memorable is the ethos of the University
that emphasized respect, integrity and empathy.
The spirit of its ethos is perhaps best reflected in the
oath that graduates of the University were required
to owe allegiance to during their convocation
ceremony and one which vests the onus on the
alumnus to maintain the highest standard of quality,
integrity and commitment towards work and society.
To this day, the oath of the University remains
sacrosanct and is proudly displayed on my work
desk.
The expectations of the University—a relentless
pursuit of excellence from its students as well as its
deep commitment to ensure strong professional
careers for its graduates—has helped build deep
engagement and a lifelong connect of its alumni with
their Alma mater. My postgraduate program of study
in management was rigorous and demanding, laying
great emphasis on the acquisition of subject-matter
expertise and academic preparation for a career in
management, while our faculty—well-accomplished
experts in their domains and many of them world
class—selflessly mentored us to success. We were
also encouraged to be sensitive about the need to
make an impact on others and to understand the
importance of team work. A good part of our learning
at the University was strongly complemented by its
efforts to impart professional development to its
graduates and mould wholesome personalities.
Today, as a management practitioner and marketing
professional I head Vestian's practice for South
India, and I am delighted to say that Alliance alumni
are professionally recognized by their employers
and many have even performed wonderfully well in
rewarding careers in industry.
