About Nayanta University Nayanta University is a new world-class liberal arts and sciences institution located in Pune, India. Co-founded by a group of India’s most respected industrialists and thought leaders—including Naushad Forbes, Meher Pudumjee, Kris Gopalakrishnan, and Nadir Godrej—Nayanta represents a bold reimagining of what a university can be. We aspire to create a space that is globally benchmarked yet deeply rooted in Indian realities, where students from diverse backgrounds come together to think critically, act ethically, and lead with empathy. Nayanta has a proprietary partnership with the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), and is committed to building strong academic, corporate, and social sector linkages. Every aspect of the institution—from academics to student life—is being designed with intentionality and a spirit of co-creation. Role Overview As the founding Librarian, you will play a central role in shaping Nayanta’s intellectual culture. This is not a traditional custodial role; it is an opportunity to create a library ecosystem that is as much about curiosity, exploration, and interdisciplinary dialogue as it is about access to information. We are looking for a candidate who is excited by the challenge of building a modern academic library from scratch—someone who combines a love of books and learning with the ability to think strategically, work collaboratively, and lead with vision. The library will also house curated collections that celebrate the lives and contributions of great leaders and thinkers—Indian and global, contemporary and classical. The Librarian will be responsible for positioning these collections thoughtfully, ensuring they are presented with the respect, visibility, and contextual framing they deserve. Key Responsibilities Strategic Leadership & Vision Develop and execute a phased roadmap for creating a best-in-class university library, balancing physical collections with digital resources. Build the library’s infrastructure and services in alignment with global standards and Nayanta’s academic philosophy. Establish systems for acquisition, cataloguing, circulation, archiving, and digital access. Curation, Engagement, and Programming Curate a thoughtful, inclusive collection across disciplines, including regional and Indian language content. Design and position special collections that honour the lives and legacies of renowned leaders, scholars, and intellectuals, giving them their rightful place in Nayanta’s knowledge landscape. Make the library a living space—host reading clubs, exhibitions, research showcases, and thematic events. Cultivate student engagement by designing the library as a space for quiet reflection, collaborative learning, and idea exchange. Technology and Innovation Integrate digital tools, e-libraries, and databases (e.g., JSTOR, Scopus, Project MUSE) to support faculty and student research. Stay current with emerging developments in library and information science—AI in indexing, open access movements, digital preservation—and incorporate them contextually. Build a user-friendly digital library portal, accessible across devices and platforms. Create repository of faculty and student-sourced research material, and make it available in open-source commons mode as per university policies Institutional Collaboration Work closely with academic leadership and faculty to embed library use in teaching, research, and curriculum development. Collaborate with the Dean of Student Affairs to support reading as part of student wellness and personal growth. Contribute to academic committees and discussions on pedagogical support and academic integrity. Team and Ecosystem Building Build and mentor a diverse library team over time. Forge partnerships with national and international libraries for inter-library loan, joint events, and knowledge exchange. Develop orientation and training modules for faculty and students on library usage and digital literacy. Candidate Profile We are open to candidates at different stages of their careers. While 10–15 years of experience is ideal, we welcome exceptional early-career professionals who demonstrate the energy, curiosity, and leadership required to take on this role. Required Qualifications and Traits Master’s degree in Library and Information Science or equivalent. Demonstrated passion for books, knowledge systems, and student learning. Familiarity with cataloguing standards (e.g., MARC21), open-source library management systems (e.g., Koha), and digital research platforms. Excellent interpersonal and communication skills; comfort engaging with students and faculty across disciplines. Ability to think strategically, act with autonomy, and thrive in a dynamic institutional building environment. Preferred (but not mandatory) Experience in setting up a library or knowledge repository in an academic, research, or cultural institution. Interest in interdisciplinary education and the role of libraries in fostering cross-domain thinking. Working knowledge of Indian language literature or multilingual curation is a plus. Experience curating or managing archival or thematic collections will be an asset. Why does this Role matter? At Nayanta, every founding team member plays a catalytic role in shaping the institution’s long-term culture and character. As Librarian, you will be the steward of its intellectual heart—a builder of collections, a curator of ideas, and a guide for young minds. You will help establish the library not just as a repository of books, but as a site of inspiration—where the lives of great thinkers, writers, and reformers come alive, and where new ideas are born every day.
