Galgotias University has announced the appointment of Ujjwal Pratap as director - strategic communications and public relations.

In his new role at the University, he will lead strategic communications, media relations, thought leadership initiatives, internal communication systems, and brand-building efforts across key stakeholder groups including students, parents, faculty, recruiters, regulators, and global partners.

Pratap moves from Ahmedabad University where he was director - branding and communications. 

Dr Dhruv Galgotia, CEO, Galgotias University, said, “As a young university, we have made steady progress and evolved to be amongst the leading private universities in the country, with a substantial student and faculty community across diverse disciplines. The University is entering a new phase marked by sharper academic ambition, wider external engagement, and increased national visibility. Pratap brings valuable experience across institutions and international organisations, and his appointment will help strengthen how we communicate our academic excellence, research outcomes, institutional progress, strategic priorities, and public purpose.”

Pratap said, “Galgotias University stands at an important juncture in its evolution, with growing academic scale, wider recognition, and expanding ambitions. My endeavour will be to build a communications architecture that is contemporary and keeps the information needs of our stakeholders at its centre, while ensuring that the achievements, ideas, and aspirations of the University are articulated with consistency and substance.”

In the past, he has worked with Bain & Company, and BNY Mellon, to name a few.
