Xcellon Institute - School of Business, Ahmedabad

Xcellon Institute is an education initiative by the founders of Claris Lifesciences and Abellon Clean Energy. We understand how the lack of quality man power and enterprising professionals has crippled business growth in India. At the same time, young India continues its struggle to find the requisite skills and knowledge to excel professionally. Like many successful ideas, the idea of setting up Xcellon Institute was born out a need and a problem, seen as an opportunity. The Indian corporate sector has been swept by a force of change led by remarkable growth and global integration. This has led managers to adapt to the new environment by re inventing their organizations and practices. At the forefront has been a fundamental shift in the tapping of human resources, and the attitude of companies towards treating them as the most valued resource. On the other side, the Indian education fraternity has struggled to respond to this demand to create managers and professionals with an entrepreneurial bent of mind for this ‘new’ competitive world. Even as industry embraces the theories of modern management, education remains confined to traditional theories and old world situations. The time has come to create a new system of education. A system that is ‘for today’ and educates not just for a degree, but for a career and for life. Xcellon is our attempt to break this barrier to the growth of businesses and individuals alike. At Xcellon, education goes beyond giving facts and knowledge. We believe that management is a way of thinking more than anything else and hence we focus on developing the key mental processes that enable a person to excel in life. Our education can happen as easily in a class room as in the actual workplace, or during an outdoor session. What differentiates learning at Xcellon is not just the faculty and content, but the involvement of the student through shaping his own life qualities.
