Our academic journey is based on intellectual stimulation and experiential learning.
Established in 2011 by the Group, JK Lakshmipat University (JKLU) was envisioned as a pioneering institution to bridge the gap between industry and academia, and to equip young minds for the challenges of a fast-changing world.
J.K. Organisation, a 140-year-old group with a storied legacy in nation-building, was founded by Lala Kamlapat Singhania and has grown into one of India’s most respected industrial and philanthropic groups. Its contributions span textiles, tyres, cement, paper, education, and social upliftment—guided by values of excellence, ethics, and empowerment.
JKLU reflects this spirit of purposeful progress. In just over a decade, the university has emerged as a centre for innovation, experiential learning, and interdisciplinary education. With global partnerships, exceptional faculty, cutting-edge labs and studios, and a student-first approach, JKLU is committed to shaping thinkers, doers, and change-makers for tomorrow.
