New Delhi (India), March 21: Manya was beyond excited to make her Dream debut at Paris Fashion Week where she not only walked for Designer Anjali Phougat’s Designer Dream Collection but also Manya Opened the Show at Paris Fashion Week, something very few Indians would have done. Manya felt “great honour, pride and responsibility to represent India at such a monumental International platform.” She also added “words cannot express my feelings and excitement. I feel like I have so much to say but I’m not able to explain how happy and elated I am to be able to do this for myself, my country. I want to thank Anjali Phougat for giving this larger than life opportunity to walk for her brand Designer Dream Collection and Open the show at Paris Fashion Week.” Manya was shocked when she was told she will open the Show at Paris Fashion Week and said “I couldn’t have imagined in my dreams that I will lead all the models from different nationalities, be it European, American, Australian, African and they will all follow an Indian Woman.

Opening the Show was a really big responsibility as everything depends on how the show opener is opening the fashion show. If anything goes wrong, then there is no coming back from it.” Designer Anjali Phougat and her Label Designer Dream Collection debuted at Paris Fashion Week, dedicating the entire collection to Lord Shiva and the third eye awakening. Anjali’s collection at Paris Fashion week was part of her Ascension Chapter 2, blending eastern and western styles and all dresses featured third eye embroidery. Manya adorned her blue gown with elegance and grace, representing the Indian culture, beauty and style, which was very well appreciated by the audience at Paris fashion week.

Paris, March 1st: The highly anticipated 2024 Olympic Village in Paris is officially complete and ready to receive athletes. French President Emmanuel Macron himself visited the village on Thursday, marking a significant milestone in the preparations for the upcoming Games.

Sustainable Living after the Games: Spanning 52 hectares, the village will house around 14,500 athletes and their staff during the Olympics and 9,000 for the Paralympics. However, its legacy extends beyond the Games. Following the competitions, the village will be transformed into a thriving, eco-friendly neighborhood boasting 2,800 apartments, schools, shops, offices, and public green spaces.

A Commitment to Sustainability: Built with environmental responsibility in mind, the village utilizes various sustainable practices. Low-carbon concrete, timber structures, and renewable geothermal heating are employed to significantly reduce the project's carbon footprint. Additionally, a water-processing plant will recycle water used to care for the village's extensive greenery.

Legacy Beyond the Games: Organizers anticipate that over 6,000 residents will call the village home after the Games. A third of the apartments will be designated for private ownership, another third for public housing, and the remaining available for rent.

A Symbol of Collaboration: The completion of the Olympic Village represents the culmination of seven years of collaborative effort. Following Paris's successful bid for the Games, the symbolic key to the village was officially handed over from Solideo, the company responsible for Olympic infrastructure, to Paris 2024 President Tony Estanguet. With just four months left until the first athletes arrive, the village stands as a testament to Paris's readiness to host the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 3: Excelia acquires the premises of its Paris site, thereby securing a fourth campus of its own, with the aim of contributing to Excelia’s development strategy in the French capital. This real estate transaction is an integral part of the group’s strategic plan, and it is envisaged that some 1,500 learners will be studying on the Paris-Cachan campus within the next 3 years. This acquisition represents an investment of €25 million.

Excelia boasts a 4th campus, located in Paris

Just one year after inaugurating its Paris operations on the campus of aivancity in Paris-Cachan, Excelia is now acquiring the premises. The building boasts a total floor area of some 4,000m², over 4 levels, with a capacity for up to 1,800 students.

This acquisition provides Excelia with a Paris-based site, its 4th very own campus to complement those in La Rochelle, Tours, and Orleans.

An ‘Industry 5.0’ campus

As one of the most technologically connected campuses in France, Excelia’s Paris site has been designed to offer a unique learning experience. Its innovative layout fosters discussion and sharing, and includes creativity zones, 15 hi-tech work rooms, 30 cubicles for group work, etc. This experiential learning environment is at the heart of the Paris-Cachan higher education hub, which brings together several major schools, including the EPF School of Engineering. 

In addition, students benefit from a comprehensive range of services (CROUS, university residences, etc.), high-quality sports facilities, landscaped areas, and easy access to local shops.

A strong base for Excelia’s development in Paris

This new campus for Excelia is part of the group’s drive to accelerate its development in the French capital. In terms of student numbers, the objective is to welcome 1,500 learners within the next 3 years.

Excelia’s development is centred on 3 key areas:

The introduction of new programmes – these will complement Excelia Business School’s BBA programme which was launched in the capital in 2020. Additional programmes to be launched on the new campus:

For the start of the 2023 academic year, there will be 4 Masters of Science: Luxury & Creative Industries Management, Sustainable Finance, Sustainable Supply Chain Management, and Tourism and Event Management. 

Within the next 3 years, several other programmes will be offered, including further Masters of Science, the Master in Management, as well as Excelia Tourism School’s Bachelor in Tourism and Hospitality Management in its entirety.

Accelerating Excelia’s international dimension – the Paris campus will increase Excelia’s visibility and its appeal to international students. With this in mind, the majority of the programmes, whether current or planned, will be offered in English.

Establishing Paris as a recognised campus not only in terms of the ecological transition, but also in the field of technology – with this in mind, aside from Excelia’s long-standing commitment to the ecological transition from which all the programmes benefit, the MSc programmes (luxury, finance and supply chain, to be offered on the campus) stand out for their intrinsic ‘sustainable’ dimension. In the field of technology, Excelia is pursuing its approach of skills hybridisation. This is supported by the development of close partnerships with the schools on the Paris-Cachan hub, in particular through the imminent implementation of a framework agreement with EPF, Excelia’s application to join the Alliance for Science and Technology, as well as continued collaboration with aivancity.

A determination to continue working actively with aivancity 

Excelia will continue to work with aivancity, with the two schools collaborating academically, both through their programmes and in the field of research. The first tangible evidence of this will be the organisation of the 4th Edition of the International Research Day on Artificial Intelligence (JIRIA) on Excelia’s Paris campus, in collaboration with aivancity. The JIRIA, organised by Excelia since 2019, will be held on 16th & 17th May 2024, focussing on the theme of ‘Health, Prevention, Wellbeing, and AI’.

“With the acquisition of our own premises within this rapidly expanding higher education hub, Excelia is once again demonstrating its clear ambitions for expansion in Paris. These ambitions are in line with our 2020-2025 Strategic Plan, in particular the desire to develop a range of educational programmes that meet the needs of the businesses of tomorrow, and the objective of boosting the group’s international dimension. This acquisition also attests to Excelia’s determination to drive forward its development plans: in less than 3 years, the group has established three campuses of its very own, alongside the one in La Rochelle, namely Tours, Orleans, and now Paris.” says Bruno Neil, CEO, Excelia.
