The Visionary Builder
An architect of global education ecosystems, bridging the gap between rigorous academia and agile corporate strategy.
Prof. (Dr.) Gurinder Singh is not merely an administrator; he is an architect of global education ecosystems. With a career spanning over 28 years, he has stood at the helm of one of the most aggressive expansions in the history of Indian higher education.
An alumnus of the prestigious Indian Institute of Foreign Trade (IIFT), where he secured the top rank with seven merits, Dr. Singh's foundational expertise lies in International Business. This academic grounding translated seamlessly into his administrative vision.
He holds the unique distinction of being the youngest Founder Pro Vice Chancellor of Amity University, serving two consecutive terms. During this tenure, he did not just manage the status quo; he disrupted it.
Dr. Singh is widely credited as the operational force behind the “Global Footprint” initiative. His vision was to create a borderless university where a student could begin their degree in Noida, continue in London, and conclude in New York.

Topped the batch with 7 academic merits at India's premier trade institute, establishing early academic dominance.
Creator of 3-C Program

Philosophy of Education
Nation Building
Education is not a private good but a public duty. Students are the soldiers of national development.
Cultural Intelligence
Technical skills are insufficient without cultural adaptability. To compete globally, one must understand the world deeply.
Industry Integration
Curricula must adapt faster than industry cycles. The focus is on creating graduates who are Day-1 ready.
