Pushing the Envelope: Online University for Asia - Wong Wei Kong, Business Times Asia
As the first CEO of Asia's first e-university, Mukesh Aghi, wants to bring higher education to more people at a lower cost by maximising the full potential of the Internet. NO boundaries. That's what Mukesh Aghi is seeking to achieve as he sets out to turn the cosy world of university education upside down. It's what he calls 'disruptive innovation'. To the first CEO of Asia's first e-university, Universitas 21 Global (U21 Global), the traditional elitist, classroom-bound world of university education belongs to the last century. 'What we are trying to do is bring a low-cost, branded and efficient solution to the market. We are taking the rigidity out of the classroom model. We are taking the lead,' he says in an interview with BT.
