Company: Namaste Global – Gurukul
Vision: Make in India for Global

At Namaste Global, we are building more than a company - we are building a movement. As one of the fastest-growing, AI-enabled, community-driven cross-border innovation platforms, Namaste Global is connecting India and the United States through high-impact collaborations across Education, Science, Technology, Healthcare, and Wellness.
Through our flagship initiative, "Gurukul", we are reimagining the future of global collaboration by creating meaningful bridges between universities, institutions, startups, innovators, and ecosystem leaders. Our goal is to unlock opportunities that go beyond conventional partnerships — enabling knowledge exchange, research alliances, innovation pathways, academic mobility, student engagement, and long-term institutional growth.
With operations based in Delhi, India and Indiana, USA, we are proud to champion the vision of “Make in India for Global” by building strong and future-ready education and innovation corridors between India, the US, and beyond.
We are now looking for a high-energy, target-driven, and relationship-focused professional to join us as an Institutional Partnerships & Growth Manager.

In this role, you will be at the forefront of our expansion strategy, leading efforts to build strong relationships with universities, colleges, Directors, Vice Chancellors, Deans, International Heads, and academic leadership teams. You will play a critical part in positioning Namaste Global as a trusted partner for institutions looking to build global relevance, strengthen international engagement, and explore collaboration opportunities with our partnered US-based university ecosystem.

The most important qualification for this role is strong experience in university collaborations. If you have successfully built relationships with universities, signed MoUs, developed academic alliances, or worked closely with institutional decision-makers, this opportunity is designed for you.
Key responsibilities
- Develop and strengthen long-term partnerships with universities and colleges across your assigned region.
- Lead discussions and closure of MoUs and institutional collaboration agreements for our partnered US-based university ecosystem.

- Work closely with leadership to contribute to regional growth plans and expand Namaste Global’s institutional footprint across India.
- Track partnership progress, manage the relationship pipeline, and ensure consistent momentum toward growth targets.

- Demonstrated success in developing and closing institutional collaborations and partnership opportunities.

- Excellent communication, presentation, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills.
- A proven ability to generate leads, build trust with senior stakeholders, and convert opportunities into outcomes.
