Your mind would simply embark on a journey of emotions when you soulfully explore the life of the Late Prof. Dr. (Col.) A. Balasubramanian - the Founder of Sri Balaji Society (SBS), the Creator of Sri Balaji University, Pune (SBUP), and the craftsman of many lives.

A soldier by heart and a warrior by soul, Late Prof. Dr. (Col.) A. Balasubramanian was also a trainer, consultant, gifted writer, author and pioneer who conceived the idea of creating the first Post Graduate Management Institute in India exclusively for Defence Personnel and their dependents.
