We design immersive learning experiences that empower individuals, build capability, and drive innovation for a more inclusive and sustainable tomorrow.
Rooted in Cambridge. Impacting the world.
To deliver transformative educational experiences across every stage of a learner's life — empowering people to lead, innovate and create impact.
A world where education is experiential, inclusive and borderless — unlocking potential and creating a better future for all.
In 2016, our founder, Suyash Bhatt, visited the university campuses of MIT, Harvard and Stanford. Engaging with the vibrant student and innovation communities there was a turning point.
The energy, curiosity and entrepreneurial spirit he witnessed inspired a clear vision — to bring such transformative opportunities to learners and leaders back home in India and beyond.
That inspiration drove him to Cambridge, and in 2022, it became the foundation of Global Education Lab.
Today, GEL connects the Cambridge ecosystem with the world — empowering individuals, organisations and communities to thrive.

There were times during the weekend when I knew that what I was learning would stick with me throughout my career journey... There aren't many experiences where you can feel yourself changing and growing in real time, but at every second of this weekend I felt myself growing in confidence.
Zero-to-One Participant
I was privileged to attend the Global Education Lab's Global India Leadership Programme at the Cambridge Judge Business School... Somewhere everyone should visit at least once, you will not be disappointed. That is why I called it a Rolls Royce.
Trustee, Pratham UK
I was humbled and exhilarated for the recognition of the potential of EquiGen... This weekend emphasized the power of an amazing team, driven by a single vision and a clear purpose. Building an entrepreneurial mindset as a researcher is a powerful toolkit.

This programme helped articulate something critical: leadership is also about language. It equips founders to translate their journey into frameworks that resonate with investors and stakeholders. That shift, from building to being understood, unlocks the next level of growth and influence.
