Reimagining India Program November 2017
India is socio economically, religiously and politically diverse. Despite being born and raised in here, however, I did not fully appreciate this diversity. As I travelled through Mumbai, Jaipur and Delhi with 43 unknown Australian university students, it helped me appreciate more about the opportunities and risks associated with it.

The opportunity to attend talks and engage in discussion with people who have extensive experience of the UK-India relationship was one of the most invaluable experience of the trip. Hearing about the importance of our partnership in so many aspects of this day and age, including economics, healthcare and entertainment was incredibly insightful.

It is very unique that there are a wide range of people on the IndoGenius team. Expats from all over the world and Indians who are worldly in their own rights have had completely diverse and unique perspectives and experiences in India. IndoGenius does not only provide travel, but it is a true immersive experience of India.

Experiential learning reinforces intellectual understanding in an emotional and sensual way which cannot be conveyed in the classroom.
Study India 2015
The program provided a multi-dimensional view of India, one that wove together the social, cultural and political fabric of an extremely complex, but equally fascinating, culture. Experiencing the different structures of Indian society, how lives are lived at all levels from rich to poor, city to village, was a far more effective method than spending all our time at a university.
Reimagining India November 2017
Generalisations with India simply do not work and this is just one of the aspects of India that make it incredibly interesting to learn about.
Study India 2014
The Programme gave an incredibly holistic portrayal of India. We were given many exclusive insights into Indian academia, business and economics. On the whole, the programme played a huge part in shaping my academic interests and pursuits. Having graduated from University, there is a very clear path that leads from the Study India Program to where I am now in my career.

The program has provided me with the groundwork to go onto bigger and better things, hopefully in collaboration with India.

We learnt about India’s rich and vibrant past, it’s complex and rapidly- changing present, and I gained a glimpse of its exciting and high-tech future.

Reimagining India November 2017
India is not to be underestimated, nor casually compared to its neighbouring Asian countries. I found much about the country confronting, beautiful and curious. India’s unique political, social and economic complexities challenged previously held assumptions and forced me to question much of what I knew about not just this country but of my studies in international relations.

The highlight of the Business in India Program was visiting the Australian High Commission and networking with Australian and Indian diplomats.
Study India 2014
The program provided the catalyst for several career opportunities and the stimulus for much discussion and debate. Whilst being incrediby fun at the same time! One highlight was my week long internship at the Indian Spinal Injuries Centre. This provided a fascinating insight into health care provision in India, it enabled me to meet and speak with health care professionals in India and provided much stimulus to consider future career moves and projects
Study India 2013
The program gave me an incredibly comprehensive introduction to India. During my time in Delhi and Mumbai, I had the chance to learn about India’s traditions, languages, religions, economic and political situation. I had the privilege to speak to some of the leading entrepreneurs of the country, as well as to school children and university student. One day I was walking in the fastest Stock Exchange in the Asian continent, the following day in its largest slum.

During visits to IIT Bombay and Manipal University we had opportunities to interact with current students and teaching staff, learn about their current, past and future programs. From this, I came to the conclusion that the Indian education system is very much underrated.

Thanks to my participation in the program, my career aspiration of becoming an entrepreneur were reaffirmed. During my years as a Mathematics and Finance student, I have developed a keen interest in the Financial technology (Fintech) and all things startup. Through the program, I have learned a lot about its entrepreneurial ecosystem and how the start-ups, particularly micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) sector is pivotal in India's development.
Reimagining India February 2017
The Reimagining India program has opened my mind and softened my heart more than any other course I have taken. India is a complex country with unique challenges and incredibly innovative solutions and I thank Team IndoGenius for helping me to realise the importance of India in my everyday life.
Buckeye Fellowship 2013
The IndoGenius program offers students the opportunity to be in immersed in what some might deem "a whole different world". This is by far one of the best ways to take one's education outside of the classroom and learn how to be a citizen of the world.
Study India Program 2015
The program highlighted that education is clearly an integral part of India’s status as one of the world’s fastest growing economies, and throughout my time in India I was lucky enough to experience education for myself at the David Sassoon library, the Anjuman-i-Islam school and at the SRCC university

Make in India 2015
Through this program, I gained an appreciation for alternate manufacturing methods, and understand how they adapt to different work cultures and societal expectations. I also have a clear view of the Indian education system, which has helped me tremendously in relating to both Indian colleagues and Indian classmates As a whole, the trip was an incredible experience. So much so, that I am currently actively looking for projects in India to return.
Study India 2014
This program is educational, inclusive and a life changing experience that leaves you with a new perspective on the country and your own life! Eye opening and humbling.
Make in India 2015
I would not have enjoyed two weeks at an Indian university because I do not believe that we would have gotten a real taste of the industry or India itself. There is only so much a classroom can teach you. I think to work in or visit India you need to have more of an understanding of its cultures, customs and people.
Make in India 2015
Team IndoGenius encouraged us to be open minded and take every opportunity to absorb knowledge and take part in activities. The trip had a great balance of showing all areas within India's society, having the chance to meet some of poorest slum residents to aspiring business leaders and students in the middle class and even having the chance to meet Indian royalty.
Study India 2012
Put very simply, it is the hard work and sheer force of imagination present within IndoGenius that made the program an unforgettable experience
Reimagining India February 2017
I found the program beneficial in giving me exposure to institutions, people and places I would not have had otherwise. This has really helped broaden my perspectives on life in general. I would recommend the program to friends as I think it is a great experience to be able to learn practically by physically doing things and immersing yourself in the whole experience.

I would recommend it in a heartbeat. The itinerary is filled with opportunity that any normal traveller would not be able to experience.

Study India 2014
I currently work in the European head office of a company, and I feel my time in India helped me develop an outlook that is beneficial in this sort of environment. The program has made me more open and aware, has given me an openness to ideas - I feel I'm able to see alternative points of view and sometimes grasp the potential in an idea, and I attribute that in part to my time in India which encouraged me to continually search for ways of thinking that might be hidden.
Study India Program 2015
From the people we met to the places we visited and the experiences we had, the Study India Programme was truly phenomenal. Every moment was new and exciting, and whilst certainly tiring, it is something that will stay with me always. My connection with India is infinitely stronger as a result of this engagement.
Reimagining India February 2017
India is a country with a re-emerging economy of immense global significance. The sheer scope of diversity and complexities of India amazed and enthralled me. The program changed my perspective on a lot of things; it definitely reaffirmed my desire to work in the development sector.
Study India 2014
The programme fed into my desire to investigate things I know little about, it taught me to challenge my preconceptions and understanding of people, places and history. Even now I use the experiences of the Study India programme as a lense through which I challenge things I see and read.

My participation in the program has generated a deeper interest in the way my subject, institutionalised psychology, is taught and practiced. My first- hand introduction to Eastern-Indian thought has allowed me to appreciate the potential it has to be a significant advantage in psychology, specifically clinical therapy.

As someone who studied economics, the way Dharavi slum economy worked was fascinating. It truly showed off the ingenuity of the residents and I learned how I took too much for granted.

My time in India has reaffirmed my desire to do something much larger than myself.

The program gave a sense of perspective and scale about India's place in the world - currently and in the future. I can now confidently say I am equipped to work in and around India, with a much better idea of how India will shape the world in years to come. The program is unique in the sheer volume of knowledge and experience we are exposed to.

We were offered a first hand experience of India’s diversity; from visiting Dharavi slums to the home of James Ferreira, one of India’s leading fashion designers, to the bustling corporate offices of some the the worlds leading Indian businesses’ and innovative start-ups. I had so many personal and academic questions - for the first time in my entire schooling life I
began to see the two become one.
Study India 2014
What I have learned through the Study India Programme is that India is full of potential, both economic and intellectual, and the negative impressions often displayed of the country on the news and in the press do not accurately reflect the India that I got to both know and love.

As a law student, I discovered three legal linkages underpinning the relationship between Australia and India – innovation, partnership, and humanitarianism. The program has shown me that the Australian legal scholars have much to learn from India.
