Universal AI University is a state private university in Karjat, Maharashtra, operational since 2023 and built on the institutional foundation of Universal Business School. The predecessor business school was founded in 2009 on a forty-acre residential campus in the Karjat Valley near Mumbai, supported by corporate leaders and designed around global business education. Over more than a decade the institution developed international partnerships, experiential learning, executive engagement and a residential management-education environment. Maharashtra approved the transition to university status in 2022, and the Universal AI University, Karjat Act came into force in January 2023. The state government appointed 28 April 2023 as the date on which the new university became operational. The university describes itself as India's first AI-focused university and integrates artificial intelligence across business, technology, design and broader multidisciplinary education rather than treating AI as only a computer-science specialization. Its campus includes an AI experience lab, immersive-technology laboratories, a trading room and other facilities supporting experiential learning. Academic delivery places strong emphasis on practical projects, CEO and CXO interaction, industry collaborations and international exposure. The institution's sponsoring body is Strive India Foundation. Universal AI University also maintains the global and management-education orientation developed during its business-school phase while adding undergraduate, technology and interdisciplinary programs. As a state private university, UNIVERSAL Ai UNIVERSITY operates within the statutory and quality frameworks applicable to higher education in Maharashtra. The institution's Karjat location also shapes the professional, cultural and community networks available to students. Professional programs remain subject to the approvals and standards of the relevant statutory or regulatory bodies where required. Library, digital-learning and student-support systems complement the university's teaching and practical-learning environment. Prospective students should review the university's current program structure and discipline-specific requirements before applying. The university's ongoing development reflects changing expectations around employability, interdisciplinary study and technology-enabled learning.
