Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana

What Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana does

Swami Vivekananda Yoga Anusandhana Samsthana (S-VYASA) is a NAAC A+ accredited Deemed-to-be University recognized by the University Grants Commission (UGC) under Section 3 of the UGC Act, operating two campuses in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India — Prashanti Kutiram (the residential yoga and allied health sciences campus at Jigani, Anekal) and Sattva Global City Campus (a technology-focused campus inside Sattva Global Tech Park on Mysore Road). The institution was founded by Dr. H R Nagendra and Dr. R Nagaratna, who also established the Anvesana Research Facility over 30 years ago to evidence-base traditional yoga practices, and serves undergraduate, postgraduate, doctoral, diploma, and certificate students through both on-campus and distance learning modes.

S-VYASA's core products span a wide academic portfolio: B.Tech programs in Computer Science, AI/Data Science, Robotics, Cybersecurity, IoT/Blockchain, and Quantum Computing (with IBM and TCS iON certifications), MBA and MCA specializations in AI/Data Analytics, Cloud/DevOps, and Digital Business, BSc/MSc programs, Bachelor of Physiotherapy, Bachelor of Occupational Therapy, Clinical Psychology, Bachelor of Naturopathy and Yogic Sciences (BNYS), MD-Yoga, Ph.D. programs across multiple disciplines, and specialized yoga certifications including the Yoga Instructor Course (YIC) and Aerial Yoga TTC. The technology stack is conventional: web-based admissions and student portals, Koha integrated library management, and a dedicated distance learning platform (svyasadde.com). Strategic partnerships with IBM, Intel, HP, L&T, Cambridge University, Amazon, Microsoft, Accenture, and Cognizant support both curriculum design and graduate placement.

The business model is tuition-driven: direct-to-consumer enrollment through the university website and application portal, with semester-based fees (e.g., MA Yoga Darshanam at Rs. 1,87,000 total, MBA programs typically Rs. 2-4 lakh per year) supplemented by on-campus accommodation revenue (Rs. 6,000-Rs. 10,000 per course participant), distance learning fees, performing arts certification fees under the SPEC program, and event sponsorship revenue (e.g., the AIU All India Inter-University Yogasana Championships 2026). The institution is privately governed by the S-Vyasa Society, operates under academic oversight from UGC and NAAC, and shows no evidence of external venture or private equity ownership.
