Anil Srinivasan, Founder of Kruu expresses, “These partnerships are a bold leap toward transforming education through Project-Based Learning. By bridging students with global innovators like Aivancity and JMC, we’re empowering the next generation to learn in a manner that is more relevant to today’s world.”
He added, “Whether it is AI, creative media, or innovation-driven entrepreneurship through the Illinois Tech collaboration, our goal remains the same: to empower students through relevant, immersive, and globally benchmarked experiences.”

Guided by JMC’s expert faculty, these projects will immerse students in media production, design, and storytelling, positioning them for pathways in dynamic creative fields.
“KRUU’s model inspires students to tackle authentic challenges through interdisciplinary collaboration, guided by mentors from globally respected institutions. This aligns perfectly with JMC Academy’s educational philosophy: to nurture future leaders for the creative economy,” said Peter Gainey- Director, International Partnerships, JMC University Australia.
Global Impact: Elevating Student Pathways
These partnerships amplify Kruu’s mission to create pathways to self-discovery and global success, connecting students with mentors from elite institutions & business organizations. Students gain practical skills, access internships, and earn globally recognised credentials.
