New Delhi: Acumen, part of the Sannam S4 Group and the Indian partner of the University of Tokyo for the Government of Japan’s prominent initiative ‘Study in Japan from South Asia’, is set to introduce a new online and personal student service aimed at fulfilling ambitious objectives established by the Japanese government. This development represents a crucial advancement in enhancing academic, talent, and business connections between India and Japan, while also utilizing Japan’s innovative and leading sector expertise to provide exciting new career opportunities for young Indians. Dr.
Kaori Hayashi, Director of the U Tokyo India Office and Executive Vice President of the University of Tokyo, stated, “Japanese universities present a variety of academic programs, including degree courses offered in English. I hope to see more South Asian students joining us to experience world-class education, vibrant campus life, affordable tuition, and a safe, welcoming environment. We anticipate collaborating with Acumen to meet our objectives.” As the landscape of overseas education evolves quickly, Indian students are increasingly exploring options beyond traditional destinations, with Japan emerging as a notable choice. Japan features world-class universities, leading research opportunities, rich culture, and robust career pathways for international graduates.
The collaboration with Acumen will guarantee that students in India receive authentic, reliable, and transparent access to information and resources for studying in Japan, along with personal support throughout their decision-making and relocation process for the first time. Mr. Adrian Mutton, Founder & CEO of Acumen – Sannam S4 Group, remarked on this strategic partnership with Study in Japan from South Asia, stating, “India-Japan relations have reached unprecedented strength. Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Japan has facilitated a landmark $68 billion investment commitment, aligning with India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. For young Indians, this represents more than mere diplomacy — it is an invitation to an exciting future.
Japan, a global leader in AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, green technologies, pharmaceuticals, and healthcare, is generating fresh opportunities for globally skilled talent. For Indian students, the opportunity to learn, train, and build careers in these cutting-edge fields has never been better. Two knowledge economies are uniting, and Indian students can be at the forefront of this significant new chapter.” In its role as India’s partner for Study in Japan from South Asia, Acumen is launching Navi Japan, a specialized mobile application and personal support service developed in collaboration with the University of Tokyo and the Association of Indian Universities (AIU).
Equipped with real-time support features such as live chat, video counseling, and local engagement opportunities at schools and university campuses throughout India, Navi Japan aims to ensure that every student can make confident and informed decisions about studying in Japan while feeling personally supported during their entire journey from aspiration to relocation.
