What our partners think

"[The QS India Summit 2024] crystallised our thinking about what we wanted to do in India."

Professor Mark E. Smith

President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Southampton

‍

"QS is able to engage the Global South to connect with the interests of the Global North."

Professor Raj Kumar

Founding Vice-Chancellor, O.P. Jindal Global University

‍

"The highest growth in demand is from traditional strongholds which are typically high-volume markets including India and that is putting a lot of internal operational pressure on us. That’s why it has been so good to lean on QS, for the support, for the technology and for the insights. They’ve really helped us."

Marko Remes

Dean, International Business Operations, Edith Cowan University

‍

"The QS India Summit was a fantastic opportunity to engage with colleagues from the UK, QS, and a host of international universities. We made some invaluable connections with Indian institutions. Needless to say, meeting such a diverse and insightful group of institutions is constantly shaping Sheffield’s activity in India, and this is a strategic focus for the University in the coming years."
