The latest in the line of accomplishments is the ‘University of Corporate Excellence’, a world-class Universityconceived on a state- of-the-art format, in the background of mounting global corporate need and leadershipvacuum in macro-management.

Moreover, an educational entrepreneur willnot have to invest in creating a host of facilities like sports complex, residential accommodation, shopping,medical, entertainment and other essential services for education viz. library, labs, research centers, conventioncomplex, etc. as they would be available through shared services provided by Infinity Knowledge City. InfinityKnowledge City would be world’s first ever green “university”. Since much green is not available within city limits,Infinity Knowledge City would be located within drivable distance from cities, where land is plenty,affordable andgreen. Dr Mishra is serving as the president of Infinity Knowledge City Projects Pvt. Ltd to support IIPL to createsuch knowledge economies in India and other countries.
