ABOUT
OUR
FOUNDERS

The humble beginnings of JHM Hotels can

be traced back to four decades. Mr.
Hasmukh (H. P.) Rama left India to pursue
Master of Business Administration in
U.S.A. in the year 1969. His professional
career commenced as a dishwasher in
Howard Johnson Motel and soon got
promoted to become a waiter. In a span of
four years in 1973, he purchased his first
property: the 37-room Sunset Motel in
Ponoma, California.
His brothers soon joined him to create a
family business that has since then grown
to be among the top 50 Hotel Management
companies in the U.S. Over the last 37
years, the Rama family has built and
acquired 79 hotels, which operate under
top-performing franchise flags such as
Hilton, Hyatt, Marriott, and Starwood.
JHM is driven to be a premier lodging
company
that
promotes
open
communication, strong values and the
attainment of Siddhi: Perfection. With
complete dedication and commitment, the
Rama family is proud to develop AURO
University as a premier educational
institution for future generations.

FROM THE
DESK OF THE
CHAIRMAN
Board of Management

AURO University is a very special place. The

university is grounded in values and opens
to the world.
It is dedicated to the full or integral
development of students and indeed of the
whole community. Integral development
means, of course, the development of the
physical, mental, emotional and spiritual
aspects of a persons being.
At the recently concluded World Economic
Forum in the Davos, Switzerland, which is a
preeminent gathering spot of world
leaders, it was stated that in five years or a
third of the skills that are deemed
important in the workforce will change.
Among the top 10 skills that will be required
is
creativity,
people
management,
coordinating
with
others,
emotional
intelligence, and a service orientation. None
of these skills is effectively taught in
universities. To address these issues,
drawing upon the deep storehouse of
wisdom that has long existed in India, we
have drawn up a course which is unique to
AURO University called Science of Living.
Here we share with students, concepts,
knowledge and experiential practices that
will help them unfold their full potential.
Another unique course Foundations of
Indian Culture is designed to help produce
individuals who are confident of their Indian
identity and yet prepared to engage with the
world. To teach these courses we have some

of finest people in the country academics,

theatre people, and leaders coming
together to create a learning environment
like no other.
AURO
University
has
also
started
assembling a first rate globally oriented,
academic leadership team to take it to the
front rank of universities. It is addressing
every key aspect of university functioning
including
curriculum
design,
faculty
development and recruitment and research.
Our infrastructure is world class. Our
working, hostel and sports facilities are
being developed to provide an environment
suitable for inquiry and contemplation of
the highest caliber. Here you will find tree
lined pathways, the fragrance of flowers
and stars at night.
It is the perfect place to develop your
potential.
We welcome you to join AURO!

Dr. Shailendra Mehta

Chairman
Board of Management
AURO University

WELCOME
NOTE FROM
THE PROVOST
It gives me immense pleasure to introduce to you to
AURO University. All our academic programmes are
created to benefit change-makers into journeys of
leadership and transformation. Since its launch,
AURO University has gone from strength to strength,
and evolved into one of Indias most innovative
experiments in higher learning. The core purpose is to
enable and prepare students of all programmes to
play leadership and managerial roles professionally,
innovatively and with integrity.
AURO University students, during the course of their
learning are transformed intellectually (as rigorous,
critical thinkers), vitally (as emotionally intelligent
and sensitive to all things), physically (since the body
is the instrument of all change), and spiritually
(because all beings have an inner life and deeper
purpose). This preparation allows them to identify,
manage, and resolve the challenges that a growing
India faces in these times of volatility and change.
Today, we live in an age of global connections where
local initiatives have unprecedented access to global
opportunities, and vice versa. In these times of
change, the graduates of AURO University are
uniquely placed to take on the contingencies of
managing the fast emerging entrepreneurial,
technical, business, hospitality and legal landscape.
As the provost of AURO University, it is my pleasure to
introduce you to these extraordinary men and women,
professionals committed to solving problems, creative
engagement, delivering outcomes, and impacting
their environs in wonderful ways; in short, emerging
as leaders of the future.
