The idea of offering a flexible education pattern that encourages inter disciplinary studies was conceived by Mr Parag Shah and Mr Nemish Shah. in 2004. They bought large chunks of land near Pune (as they were already dealing with real estate markets as a parallel business)
They approached Prof B.V Doshi (he was a family friend) to build the campus for this university. After intensive travelling to Europe and US, visiting campuses, they had a clearer idea of what they wanted.
Admissions for the first batch happened in 2007.
Their coup was

Compulsory residential student programs - encouraging more interactions (they started something called the mentorship programs, like the gurukul system)
Also residential programs brought in more financial returns.
I know the founder - Mr Parag Shah (a friend's maternal uncle). I can arrange for a meeting with him if you think it is worth a visit.
