Inspired by the motto “तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय” (Lead me from darkness to light), Shri Subhash Chandra, Chairman of Essel Group and Zee Telefilms, took a visionary step to enhance education and employment opportunities by founding the TALEEM Research Foundation in Ahmedabad. He brought together a team of anthropologists, sociologists, and economists with the goal of establishing a world-class university in India.

Jigyasa University has been established to promote the vocationalization of higher education with a national character and transnational jurisdiction. The University is committed to ensuring that its policies and practices do not discriminate based on caste, creed, residence, community, gender, or religion.
