SUSS, Think Education launch Success Academy in Mumbai

This marks the university's eighth expansion across Asia.

The Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS) and Think Education Advisory Services LLP (TE) have launched the SUSS Success Academy in Mumbai to expand training opportunities for students in Singapore and India.

The initiative aims to foster collaboration between students from Singapore's pre-tertiary and tertiary institutions and their counterparts in India through interdisciplinary courses, student exchanges, work attachments, and internships.

The academy will offer two main tracks: Personal Success and Professional Success.

Key programmes include the Global Industry Immersion Programme (GIIP). First introduced in Pune, it gives students exposure to diverse business cultures and practices, and the Industry-based Study Programme (IBSP).

The IBSP, set to begin in December in collaboration with the Jio Institute under the Reliance Group, will focus on digital, artificial intelligence, and sustainability technologies in India.

Other initiatives include the Impact Start-Up Challenge (ISC) and a Venture Builder programme, which aims to provide students with a platform to simulate and validate business ideas.

The academy plans to roll out these programmes by 2025.

SUSS is also partnering with Indian institutions such as CHRIST University, Vishwakarma University, and Symbiosis International University to develop interdisciplinary programmes.

The academy said that it will extend its reach to adult and workplace learning, offering professional training solutions to industry partners.

The Mumbai launch marks the eighth in SUSS’s expansion across Asia, following similar launches in cities like Ho Chi Minh, Beijing, Shenzhen, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, and Manila.
