"

My two weeks at the summer programme in Cambridge felt like a dream. At first, I was nervous about being so far from home, but very quickly it became one of the best experiences of my life. I met amazing people from different countries, made real friendships, and felt like I grew more confident every day. The classes were fun and inspiring.

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.
