Describe ways India solves problems through different approaches to innovation – from the global business delivery model to low-cost medical devices.
Apply analysis of Indian case studies to their degrees by learning directly from guest presenters at companies and social enterprises. Especially with regard to innovation in the 21st Century and the Indian connection to many careers.

Please share a testimonial with us! :)
We have developed online and offline courses about India completed by thousands of students around the world
COVID has forced us to innovate but fortunately we have had years of experience teaching online as well as face-to-face.
This course has been designed to help bridge the gap created by current travel restrictions and to help internationalise student experience by widening awareness of India.
The Reimagining India Virtual Study Tour enables students to learn about the relevance of India to their future careers using culturally contextualized case studies from startups, corporates and social enterprises.
Delivered in an engaging and interactive format live from India the course will actually take students to places that otherwise would not be possible even during a traditional study tour.
Students will have the option to use the course as a launchpad for further engagement with India including study tours, study abroad and internships once in-person opportunities return.
