ATLAS SkillTech University in Mumbai has entered into a formal partnership with King’s Business School at King’s College London to create accelerated admission routes for Indian students seeking postgraduate education in the UK. The initiative aims to make world-class business education more accessible through faster admissions, fee waivers, and scholarships.
Under the agreement, eligible ATLAS students will receive admission decisions within three weeks, pay no application fee, and will not need references. Selected students will also be considered for scholarships covering up to 50 percent of tuition fees for specific master’s programs.
The collaboration follows years of close academic engagement between the two institutions. King’s Business School, part of one of the world’s top-ranked universities, has seen a 48 percent increase in postgraduate applications from India over the past three years, with a 67 percent rise in enrolments.

Siddharth Shahani, Co-founder and Executive President of ATLAS SkillTech University, said the partnership reflects the university’s focus on removing barriers to global education. “This agreement is a major milestone in our mission to create affordable, fast-track pathways to world-class education,” he said. “By collaborating with King’s College London, we are opening doors to globally recognised postgraduate education, while removing traditional barriers such as high application costs, lengthy waiting periods and complex requirements. This is about empowering Indian talent to succeed on the international stage.”
Daniel Maggs, Director of Partnerships and External Engagement at King’s Business School, said the collaboration builds on King’s long-standing relationship with India. “We are delighted to welcome this partnership with ATLAS, which reflects our ongoing commitment to India and to fostering global talent,” he said. “By creating a streamlined pathway for exceptional Indian students to come to King’s College London, we are enhancing access to outstanding educational and experiential opportunities in the heart of London, and strengthening the ties between our two countries through education and innovation.”
The partnership has already shown results through students like Bhavik Ahuja, an ATLAS alumnus who pursued an MSc in Corporate Finance at King’s College London after completing his undergraduate studies in Business Management and Entrepreneurship at ATLAS. Ahuja, now the founder of the corporate training firm TactIQ, said, “ATLAS gave me the entrepreneurial foundation, while King’s College London gave me the global financial perspective. Together, they gave me the confidence to turn a childhood dream into reality.”
The collaboration comes as King’s Business School expands its engagement in India with new alumni networks in Mumbai and New Delhi, as well as outreach programs to connect with prospective students and partners across the country.
