Acumen, the Indian counterpart of the University of Tokyo in its services to the Government of Japan's flagship program 'Study in Japan from South Asia', will introduce a new online and individual student service to realize ambitious targets set by the Government of Japan.

"Japanese universities provide a wide variety of academic courses, including undergraduate and graduate courses instructed in English. We wish to have more students from South Asia join us to enjoy world-class education, fun campus life, lower tuition fees, and a secure, friendly society. We look forward to collaborating with Acumen to meet our target", added Dr. Kaori Hayashi, Director of UTokyo India Office and Executive Vice President of the University of Tokyo.

As the global education environment is changing at lightning speed, Indian students are now venturing further than ever, and Japan is becoming a top choice. Japan promises world-class institutions, advanced research prospects, cultural diversity, and excellent career opportunities for foreign graduates. The collaboration with Acumen will see students in India receive authentic, reliable, and transparent sources of information and resources to study in Japan with personalized assistance in their decision-making and relocation process for the first time ever.

Speaking about this strategic collaboration with Study in Japan from South Asia, Adrian Mutton, Founder & CEO, Acumen - Sannam S4 Group, stated,  "India-Japan ties have never been stronger". Prime Minister Modi’s visit to Japan has unlocked a landmark $68 billion investment pledge, aligned with India’s Viksit Bharat 2047 vision. For young Indians, this is more than diplomacy it’s an open door to an exciting future.

Japan, a world leader in AI, robotics, advanced manufacturing, green technologies, pharma and healthcare, is creating new opportunities for globally skilled talent. For India's students, the opportunity to study, train, and develop careers in these leading-edge fields has never been more compelling. Two knowledge economies are converging, and Indian students can be at the center of this defining new chapter.

Speaking on the collaboration, Mr. Sagar Bahadur, Executive Director Asia & Head of Regional Strategy, Acumen, stated, "For too long, Indian students have concentrated on a limited set of education destinations". This alliance makes Japan much more accessible and offers it as a truly exciting option. 'Study in Japan from South Asia' is not only about scholarship about academic excellence it's also about providing students with gateways to innovation-led professional opportunities and a culturally enriching experience.

Acumen, India's most trusted brand in international education, takes pride in making this travel hassle-free for the student, institution and employer through Navi Japan. Navi Japan will be downloadable for free on Android and iOS from 8th September and plans to reach more than 100,000 students from India and South Asia within the next 24 months.
