Working at Manipal Group

In 1953, our founder Dr. T.M.A. Pai set up Kasturba Medical College on a barren hill on the outskirts of the town of Udupi in the State of Karnataka. In the subsequent years many other academic institutions followed and this vibrant campus became the town of Manipal. All these institutions were brought under the umbrella of the Manipal Academy of Higher Education (MAHE) that became India’s first deemed university in 1993. Today, MAHE, in this university town of Manipal, caters to more that 28,000 students from over 57 different nations. As the Group expanded, the need to consolidate its various segments of institutions and businesses led to the formation of the Manipal Education and Medical Group (MEMG) in 2004. MEMG, today, operates three Universities in India, recognised by the University Grants Commission. Separately, the businesses and other initiatives of the Group were restructured, where activities of similar nature were clubbed under four key verticals of Education, Healthcare, Research and Foundation. All institutions and businesses under MEMG are governed by a charter that requires them to offer socially relevant and affordable services.
