"Liberal Arts is a humanistic way of looking at education. I look forward to a day when we can all say Education is Liberal Arts and every discipline is its subset," Anand Mahindra said.

It will operate as an autonomous University, with its curricula being curated to fully leverage emerging technologies like Data Science, Blockchain and Data Analytics. MU will uniquely enable the holistic



development of its students, combining the Emotional Intelligence (Right Brain) and Artificial Intelligence (Left Brain) paradigms.

MU will drive interdisciplinary academic excellence, integrating the study of science and technology with the Humanities, Ethics & Philosophy, and Design.

An estimated 4,000 Students and over 300+ Faculty members will be in place across the various Schools at Mahindra University over the next five years. The Minerva Fund – Mahindra University Scholarship Program is available to ensure that deserving students have access to a quality education. MU will also bring the Corporate and Industrial ecosystems together through its Centres of Excellence. Students will have access to the Mahindra Group’s expertise through a Centre of Excellence, visiting faculty and other strategic engagements.
