Plaksha's journey started in 2015, as a conversation among a few friends about how and why technology education needs to change. This group of people, most of them entrepreneurs and business leaders, were keen to change the landscape of engineering and technology education in India and the world. Reimagining Higher Education Foundation, a Section 8 not-for-profit company, was set up in 2017 with a mission of converting the idea into a plan. In Feb 2019, the groundbreaking of Plaksha University's campus in Mohali took place with the aim of opening the campus in Aug 2021.
Over 60 like-minded tech entrepreneurs, business leaders and academicians across 6 countries are a part of the Plaksha mission. The founders are guided by a distinguished Academic Advisory Board. What we do and how we do it is represented by three pillars - based on the shared inspiration of academic leaders and the founding group.
Reimagining technology education
Focused on interdisciplinary technology curriculum, integrating liberal arts and design with hands-on pedagogy and self-development
Enabling research and innovation ecosystem
Fueled by industry-sponsored research, industry-linked academia and start-up mentorships by top CXOs and entrepreneurs
Addressing grand challenges
Structured around real-time problems, impact-focused research and tomorrow’s technologies
