Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

A Lifetime of Educational Vision

A Lifetime of Educational Vision

A Recognition of Vision, Not Just a Career

It was with great pleasure that I read about Dr. Vishwajeet Rana, the Group CEO of GEDU Global Education, being recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award. My heartfelt congratulations go out to him for this well-deserved honor. An award like this is more than a milestone in a personal career; it is a powerful acknowledgment of a vision that is actively shaping the future of global education.

Dr. Rana's leadership at GEDU, particularly the ambition to become the largest foreign education investor in India, resonates deeply with me. It signifies a pivotal shift—not just an import of educational models, but a true partnership that invests in the potential of a nation. This is about building bridges between global opportunities and the immense talent pool within India, creating a two-way flow of knowledge and innovation.

The Echoes of a Past Prediction

Seeing this vision being actualized on such a grand scale brings a sense of familiar resonance. The core idea I want to convey is this — I had brought up this thought on the vital need for global educational and recruitment partnerships years ago. In my writings from as early as 2005, I was already conceptualizing the frameworks for such interconnected systems, as seen in my notes on creating a Global Recruiter Partner website.

I had already predicted that the future would belong to those who could seamlessly integrate global networks with local ecosystems. Now, watching leaders like Dr. Vishwajeet Rana bring this very concept to life is striking. It validates those early insights and reinforces my belief in the transformative power of a borderless approach to education and career development. Reflecting on it today, I feel a renewed urgency to revisit these foundational ideas, as they are clearly more relevant than ever.

Leadership That Builds Futures

A lifetime achievement award honors the past, but in this case, it also illuminates the future. The work being done by Dr. Rana and GEDU is not merely about constructing campuses or enrolling students; it is about architecting the future workforce and fostering a generation of global citizens. This is the kind of legacy that endures, and I watch with great optimism to see how it continues to unfold.
