Mumbai: A Hub of Education and Creativity – Barrett
Speaking at the event, Alison Barrett stated, “Mumbai is not only the financial capital of India but also a center of the creative industries. This gives educational collaboration here special importance.” She explained that the creative sector is a priority in the UK’s international industrial strategy, and efforts are being made to deepen cultural cooperation with India. She cited the example of Imperial College London recently launching a campus in Bengaluru.
“In the past, students who went abroad for education rarely returned, but that is changing. We’re moving from ‘brain drain’ to ‘brain circulation’,” Barrett observed.
She also highlighted that foreign universities are beginning to embrace India’s traditional knowledge, startup ecosystem, and culture of innovation. Referring to the UK's nearly 300 international academic centers, she emphasized that similar opportunities for collaboration exist in India as well.
