Campus Life
Education, surrounded by beauty and peace!
Being in Karjat Campus is the ‘best of both worlds’ dynamic – a secluded campus with quick access to the fabled City of Dreams, Mumbai – makes for an unforgettable experience for Universal AI University. “Mumbai is an epitome of cinema, arts, music, business and history”. It’s hard to not fall in love with such a magnificent city because of its vibrancy, style, street food, and nightlife. Its close proximity to Mumbai (1.5 hours drive) allows Universal AI University to attract top CEOs and CXOs from the corporate world who find Karjat a green haven. Karjat known as the ‘Hamptons of Mumbai’ has mountains, rivers, lakes, and waterfalls, and senior executives absolutely love the ambience in natural surroundings.
Living in the lap of nature and the heart of greenery gives a completely pollution-free environment which adds one year to the student’s life and well-being. Living in a residential campus allows Universal AI to transform students’ lives 24*7 as 50% of the learning is outside the classroom and students are engaged in a plethora of experiential learning activities. Besides, daily commuting to college adds an unnecessary burden of stress on students which is easily avoidable. The significant time saved by the students in a residential campus can be used in better pursuits of rest, sleep, reading, sports, entertainment, or pursuing one’s hobbies and rejuvenating the mind and body. This is exactly what nurtured leading universities like Harvard, Oxford, Cornell, Tuck, Cambridge, HEC, and INSEAD, to become world-class
Karjat provides a healthy environment away from noise and pollution and yet being very close to Mumbai, allows one to be inspired by the spirit of enterprise – ‘Best of both worlds’.

UAiU Alumni Association Founding Chairman: Yaazdan – The one who draws unique insights from different backgrounds: Meet Yaazdan Katrak
Date- July 27, 2023
His journey, through his lens…
Universal Ai University not only gave him a management degree, but a new perspective towards business acumen and management.
Right out of Mumbai University, Yaazdan joined UBS Cardiff Met after interning for an NGO in Mumbai. The diversity of the student body gave him a unique perspective on how managers from different parts of the country approach business problems.
He learned how managers from different cultures and backgrounds use their own unique experiences to solve problems. This helped him to develop a more nuanced understanding of the challenges facing businesses today and how to approach them in a way that is both effective and culturally sensitive.
For example, he learned how managers in rural areas often have to be more creative and resourceful in their problem-solving, as they may not have access to the same resources as managers in urban areas.
The faculty at UAiU was really helpful in developing his talents and addressing his areas of improvement. They used real-world experience to assist & and grasp the issues that businesses face today. Guest talks from industry leaders were also a highlight of the program. He learned how managers from different parts of the country collaborate to solve the same business issues, and he was exposed to various approaches to problem-solving.
One of the most useful experiences he had at UAiU was the opportunity to represent the school as Student Council President at Cardiff Metropolitan University in Wales. This week-long leadership exchange program provided him with the opportunity to network with students from other countries and learn about diverse cultures.
After graduating from UAiU, he worked for an educational consultancy in Mumbai. He applied what he learned at UAiU to assist the company in building its business. In addition, as the Partnership Coordinator for a major UK university in India, he had the opportunity to put his leadership talents to use and network with other professionals.
Whilst sharing his journey, he is humble and appreciative of the chances provided by UAiU, and he is convinced that these abilities will serve him well throughout his career.
Overall, his experience at Universal Ai University taught him that there is no one-size-fits-all solution to business problems. The best way to solve a problem is to consider the unique context in which it is occurring and to draw on the insights of people from different backgrounds.
UAiU has taught him to consider and analyze every action and decision he makes. He is the recipient of The Alumni Award and the Founding Chairman of the Universal Business School Alumni Association (UBSAA).
