I welcome you on behalf of Gurugram University and thank you for showing interest in us. At the very outset, I am prompted to quote Dr APJ Abdul Kalam's scholarly views on growth and achieving exemplary performance in life -

“Excellence is a continuous process and not an accident”

We at Gurugram University follow the above perspective and strive to achieve perfection while placing great emphasis on consistent developmental activities in every sphere. The university is making every effort to bridge the gap between industry-academia and society in order to prepare our students for the challenges in the corporate world. I am glad to share that not with-standing the nascent stage of the university, we have been able to launch our First International Journal of Management, 'Gurugram University Business Review (GUBR)'. A journal is a showcase of innovation & constructive research of a University. It is very important to create a platform where everyone can add valuable insights to the existing body of knowledge.   It has been a part of my vision to raise the academic standards of the University to the highest level. GUBR, as projected, is an international bi-annual peer reviewed journal published by the Department of Management, Gurugram University Gurugram. The Journal provides a platform to the scholars from varied fields with a view to promote high quality and original research for dissemination and application in public life. I am sure it will grow by leaps and bounds!!! I congratulate the editorial committee of GUBR and wish them all the best!
