Acumen is thrilled to announce the opening of our new office in Noida, Uttar Pradesh. This strategic expansion into Uttar Pradesh, India’s most populous state and second-largest economy, presents unparalleled opportunities for universities seeking to diversify and enrich their international student body.
Uttar Pradesh is a dynamic region with a rapidly transforming higher education landscape, boasting 82 universities and 8,375 colleges, including top institutions, and actively developing educational hubs. With strong government support through policies like the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and the Higher Education Incentive Policy 2024, and extensive infrastructure development, UP offers immense potential for global education.
For universities, this means access to a market with over 200 million potential students, eager for world-class education. Our new office will facilitate the recruitment of talented and diverse students, forge new academic partnerships, and expand your institution’s presence in a critical global market.
‘’Acumen’s new Noida office strengthens our ability to work even more closely with our partner universities, schools, and government bodies. With its strategic location at the heart of India’s knowledge and innovation hub, this expansion enables us to host more collaborative engagements, scale our operations efficiently, and provide faster, more integrated support to our global network. It’s an investment in proximity, partnerships, and progress.’’
Sagar Bahadur
Executive Director, Asia & Head of Regional Strategy
Our new office space at Tapasya Corporate Heights, a premier Grade-A tower located in Sector 126, Noida — right at the start of the Noida Expressway, marks another exciting milestone in Acumen’s journey of growth and collaboration across India.
This strategic expansion complements our existing offices in New Delhi, Bangalore, and Mumbai, which together form the foundation of Acumen’s operations in India. Each office plays a vital role in engaging local institutions, supporting our partner universities, and enhancing international recruitment opportunities.
This move reinforces our commitment to connecting students with world-class education and fostering international collaborations. We look forward to the incredible opportunities ahead in Uttar Pradesh.
