We partner with existing colleges who have a well-equipped infrastructure to run and manage an AICTE approved, PGDM program by leveraging the use of modern-day technology and thusensuring that the students are provided with the highest level of education quality across all our campuses. All our students are imparted with the desired skill sets that are in sync with the corporate environment and given practical training on various corporate domains that exist in an organization.The faculty at Sunstone realized that there was a huge disconnect between the present education system and the dynamic demands of the employment industry. Students these days have immense subject matter knowledge which is imbibed in them throughout their foundation years which begins right from their schooling and continues until they complete their post-graduation and so on!Broadcasting information on various subject matters does not really comply with the current industry requirements and hence the students really struggle when it comes to acing certain tasks at work. They lack the basic skill set that is considered to be a pre-requisite by most of the corporates and are not considered industry ready professionals.We envision in bringing about a paradigm shift in the present higher education system by equipping the students with various skill sets so that they are easily absorbed by the recruitment companies. Till date, Sunstone Eduversity has a 100% placement record with over 200 different recruitment companies impaneled with us. We take full responsibility of your career as we believe that all education institutes should provide its students with the confidence to be placed right after acquiring the desired skill sets and hence are delighted to procreate this framework!

James Lee Sorenson provided the David Eccles School of Business at the University of Utah a $13 million gift in 2013 to create the Sorenson Impact Center (formerly the James Lee Sorenson Center for Global Impact Investing (SGII)), with a mission to cultivate students’ social impact expertise. Jim plays an active role in supporting the Center andmentoring its student participants.After leading a team that developed a high-quality, low-cost videophone that transformed communication capabilities for 1,000,000 deaf individuals in the early 2000s, Jim realized that his investments could ‘do well while doing good,’ and he hasn’t looked back. He was an early funder of microfinance, granting funds to non-profit Unitus in the early 2000s and then investing in Unitus’s for-profit spin-off, Unitus Equity Fund (UEF). Through UEF, Jim invested in SKS Microfinance Ltd. (now called Bharat Financial Inclusion Ltd.), an Indian company providing financial services to the poor. From 2006–2009, SKS grew from serving 200,000 clients to 3,700,000 clients, and in 2009, SKS went public with a market capitalization of $1.7 billion.In 2012, through the Sorenson Impact Foundation, Jim began making program-related investments (PRIs) into high-impact, early-stage social enterprises with robust business models capable of reaching underserved populations at scale. In 2013, Jim became an early investor into Pay for Success, also called social impact bonds (SIBs). His first PFS investment was in New York State for a program that aimed to reduce recidivism. Financial returns depended on the success of job-training programs for newly released prisoners. When the project was announced, 41 percent of formerly incarcerated individuals returned to prison within three years, costing government $60,000 per prisoner annually. Since then, Jim has participated in several PFS transactions in the state of Utah and Massachusetts.
