Message from the President of Dhirubhai Ambani University - New Visual Identity
My dear DAU family,
At the outset, let me wish you a very happy new year!
On behalf of the Board of Governors, I would like to thank you all for your contribution to the success of DA-IICT over the years as it transitions into the Dhirubhai Ambani University (DAU). I also express my gratitude to the Government of Gujarat for acknowledging the institute’s contribution and its support in making DAU a reality.
This is indeed a historic year as we take a decisive step forward with the launch of the new visual identity of DAU, which reflects its purpose and commitment as it transforms into a premier multidisciplinary education and research university.
At DAU, we believe education is liberation of the mind, achieved through the fusion of diverse knowledge. Exposure to such knowledge not only inspires individuals to explore new frontiers but also fosters empathy and equanimity, enabling our students to unlock their true potential and contribute to a brighter, more inclusive future for our nation.
Our new identity reflects this belief. A triangle evolving into a bird symbolises the professional and personal ascent of our students, driven by the power of diverse knowledge. Inspired by origami, a global symbol of transformation, the identity is both elegant and universally appealing. While the colours of the visual, ranging from bright yellow to fiery orange, lend a sense of vibrancy, the deep blue of the brand name highlights the stability and trust associated with the institution. This new identity is more than an image, it is a metaphor for holistic growth that will empower India’s next generation.
On this occasion, I recall the wisdom of the visionary late Shri Dhirubhai Ambani, Founding Chairman of DA-IICT, who believed that investment in education was critical to India’s intellectual competitiveness and global leadership in the information age.
I believe that with our collective efforts, commitment and zeal, DAU will take on a pivotal role in the higher education space in India and globally, preparing the leaders of tomorrow for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. Let us build on our successes and carry forward our past legacy of excellence as we craft a dynamic future. Onwards and upwards!
