Gauri was selected through a competitive global process as one of 17 students worldwide, representing a network of 37 institutions across the Middle East and a global community of more than 800 institutions.
As a Regional Leader, she will help connect students across the Middle East, contribute to conversations around responsible management education and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and bring student perspectives to global higher education initiatives.
During her one-year term, she will support PRME student programs and initiatives focused on advocacy and representation, skills development and entrepreneurship, and career readiness. Regional Leaders will also receive funding to attend global UN conferences.
For Gauri, the role is a natural extension of an interest she developed throughout her BBA journey, understanding how business can create impact beyond the balance sheet.
Her selection is an example of how students at SP Jain Global can take the ideas they develop through their education and bring them into wider conversations shaping the future of business.
