Greater Noida-based Galgotias University, which faced significant criticism and online backlash during the AI Summit held in February at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, has since been focused on strengthening its external communications, particularly with media and prospective students. As part of this strategic initiative, the University has appointed Ujjwal Pratap as Director of Strategic Communications and Public Relations.
An alumnus of the Indian Institute of Mass Communication & DU, Pratap has also completed an executive education program in finance from the Indian Institute of Management Kozhikode and holds an LLB degree.
He brings with him extensive national and international experience across higher education, financial services, consulting, business intelligence, and corporate communications. In his most recent role as Director of Branding and Communications at Ahmedabad University, he led institutional brand strategy, media engagement, thought leadership initiatives, admissions communications, digital positioning, and strategic campaigns.
Speaking on his appointment, Ujjwal Pratap said,“My endeavour will be to build a communications architecture that is contemporary and centered around the information needs of our stakeholders, while ensuring that the University’s achievements, ideas, and aspirations are articulated with consistency and substance.”
