One Window, a leading platform that helps Indian students access global education, recently co-hosted the India-USA Higher Education Roundtable at Grand Kakatiya, Hyderabad. The event saw active participation from eleven American education leaders, including legislators and university presidents, alongside senior representatives from top Indian institutions such as IIT Hyderabad, Kakatiya University, ICFAI, and Vignan University.
Discussions centred on joint research, dual degrees, faculty exchanges, and STEAM education opportunities, especially in the state of Alabama. With a remarkable 98% student success rate and scholarships worth over $12 million secured for Indian learners, One Window continues to play a strong role in bridging education systems across borders.
I believe this topic is worth discussing because it shows how structured collaborations can redefine opportunities for Indian students. Higher education today is not just about studying abroad but about creating global pathways where students can access world-class resources while still staying connected to Indian institutions. Such efforts also support India’s larger vision of developing talent for high-growth sectors like technology, healthcare, and research.
Writing about this event matters because it highlights the importance of global partnerships in shaping the next generation of innovators, while also showing how policy and education leaders from both countries are working together to create lasting impact.
