In a recent article, India Today highlighted the development of new-age Indian colleges such as ours, aiding a globalised approach to education by bridging gaps and providing progressive curricula that promote critical thinking and entrepreneurship, equipping students with the abilities they need to compete on a global scale.

We merely need to look at our students to witness the realisation of these words. From 'What am I supposed to do?' to 'Hey, I am all geared up!', the journey says it all. The interval is punctuated with a few years of what they warmly exclaim as 'Some of the best days of their lives'. Each day, our young students work with resolve and a desire to go a little further and do some more. Every cohort carries forward the legacy of its predecessors. Very soon, we will be celebrating the most recent batch of graduands on 14 June 2025 at Convocation 2025, at The Music Academy, Chennai. We request you all to mark your calendars for the same.

As the campus heads into a short pause, with students and faculty members going on break, we take this opportunity to assess, reflect, and act with renewed vigour towards the vision we all so firmly believe in.

As always, if you have stories or news to share with the Krea community, we invite you to connect with us at all.commsteam@krea.edu.in
