Testimonies by our Alumni
Karunya has a stunning blend of state of the art infrastructure and highly intellectual faculties who forged my domain knowledge. Four years of my journey with an amazing student community unwrapped a world of open-mindedness in me. Being part of the tech festival, i.e. MINDKRAFT and symposiums with students and faculties, moulded an effective communicator in me, and this has widely influenced my corporate leadership journey in the last ten years. Most importantly, the spiritual atmosphere and the value-based education at Karunya are enabling me to ”Rise and Shine” for Jesus. All glory and honour to Jesus
