Sajjan jindal-led JSW Group has entered into an agreement with Krea University, a private varsity in Andhra Pradesh, to offer higher education in business management.
This is the conglomerate’s third academic collaboration in the last two years, the others being with IIT Bombay and IIM Ahmedabad (IIM-A) in 2022.
JSW Group and Krea University have set up a centre, JSW Academic Building, in Sri City to provide an “enabling environment” and bring together stakeholders to facilitate exchange of ideas.
JSW Group has signed the collaboration through its CSR arm, JSW Foundation, it said in a statement.
“The collaboration signifies our shared vision for empowering future leaders with a holistic and innovative learning environment.
Together, we aim to shape minds that will drive positive change in India and at the global stage,” Sajjan Jindal, chairman of the JSW Group, said.
Separately, JSW Group has appointed Olympic and world champion Neeraj Chopra as its official brand ambassador. This partnership with the javelin ace is for the group’s businesses, including steel, cements and paints.
