Sunstone is an early-stage EdTech company delivering employment-oriented, formal higher education (postgraduate and undergraduate) programs (MBA, MCA, BBA, BTech, BCom, and BCA) in an asset-light partnership with colleges across India.
Traditionally, most Indian Higher Education Institutes in India have approached curriculum design and teaching processes from an outdated one-size-fits-all vantage point that is woefully out of sync with industry requirements. To overcome this structural issue, Sunstone helps universities become more industry-relevant by designing a curriculum calibrated to entry-level job descriptions based on corporate recruiters’ inputs.
Sunstone manages the entire gamut of activities from student acquisition to faculty training, learning (technology, curriculum, and pedagogy), and placements for universities in exchange for their accreditation and infrastructure. The Company has steered Sunstone towards being a more holistic education brand, which offers outcome-based programs and delivers other quality education courses and global exposure through experiential learning programs.
