Having travelled across the globe for participation at the most prestigious forums of international education such as NAFSA, QS Americas, British Council amongst others and establishing linkages and collaborations with top universities and individuals in USA, UK, Canada, Australia and Europe and other parts of the world, I wish to use my expertise to contribute to the growing need of excellence in international education. Further, being in the higher education industry in India in senior academic leadership and strategic roles for over twenty years, I have seen every aspect of academia very closely and therefore fully appreciate the need of integration of internationalisation in every step, in every phase of teaching and in the overall learning environment to achieve holistic learning.
I am super excited to mention that Vita Nova has something to offer to all its clients to step up their internationalisation quotient - foreign higher education institutions, Indian Universities, Indian schools, and students applying for study abroad.
In my professional journey, my students have always held a special place in my heart. My endeavors allowed me to be a part of the success story of thousands of students across India. I have seen how bright students remain surrounded by a void that holds them from making the right choices and often the widespread ambiguity grows with every step especially when you don't team up with the right catalyst. This void can only be filled by someone who has walked down this path several times and has experienced the struggles which thousands have faced, to clear this void. Vita Nova is my front for passing on guidance and experience to the future of our Nation!
It is now my prerogative to influence the education fraternity worldwide. And give back my expertise, knowledge and passion back to the community.
