The university's location in Bengaluru provides access to one of India's largest technology, start-up, design and business ecosystems, creating opportunities for industry interaction, internships, networking and professional exposure. The university's founding campus is located at Bettenahalli, Kundana Hobli, on Chapparkallu Road in Bengaluru. The campus provides academic facilities including laboratories, classrooms, libraries, design studios, student spaces and other infrastructure supporting multidisciplinary education.

The university seeks to build a culture of collaboration, responsiveness, high performance and service while preparing students for future careers and responsible leadership.
