As the name suggests, inbound programs are programs designed for students, wherein the faculty members, student leaders or mentors offering the program are hosted in India. Inbound programs facilitate globalised learning to transpire at the host country or the host city, more specifically.
Our meticulously crafted inbound programs have faculty from top universities and international mentors travel to India to deliver state-of-the-art experiential learning. The central idea behind our inbound programs is to bring learning of international stature to Indian cities and offer life-transforming experiences to students here.
The disciplines of learning across our inbound programs can range from robotics to soccer. Our endeavour is to create unimaginably amazing learning experiences for students across a wide spectrum of varied interests. We envisage the creation of experiential learning avenues that can empower young minds to think beyond the ordinary and evolve into global citizens.
Our first step in this direction was hosting the Harvard HPAIR Leadership Program at Yadavindra Public School, Mohali, in 2024. The leadership conference, the first of its kind in this region, saw an overwhelming response from across the country and hosted students from more than 30 schools. Harvard mentors who had flown in from the US offered new perspectives on leadership altogether and fostered a conducive space for students to discover true leadership through various activities, engaging sessions and by sharing their perspectives.
The next big step was to bring Imperial College London to India and partner with it to host its first STEM-A-THON in India. The maiden edition that took place in 2024 saw an overwhelming response and students from more than 50 schools pan India participated. The contest tested students’ ability and creativity in terms of applying STEM solutions to solve the complex puzzle of sustainable development goals. Faculty at Imperial College London mentored students at various levels to help them put their best foot forward as the winners had the opportunity to win an all-paid trip to Imperial College London. The 2025 edition came with greater gusto and all the more interest from schools across India.
Our inbound programs have gained great success thus far and more inbound programs will be launched in the near future as recurring events. Silver Fern Education Consultants, the parent company of EduQuest, is partnered with 480-plus global institutions. By inviting faculty and trainers from these top-ranked global universities and beyond to deliver experiential learning in Tier 2 cities in India, EduQuest has brought considerable positive impact in transforming learning experiences in smaller Indian cities.

Outbound programs are overseas educational trips that provide global exposure to students across various academic disciplines. Outbound programs are designed such that students travel to the most popular study destinations in the world, study there for short durations and get a firsthand experience of what it is like to be at a top-ranked university.
The vision with which we devise our outbound programs is that we emphasize academic rigour and worthwhile skill development from the viewpoint of experiential learning. Further, the outbound academic or skill-building programs are drafted in a manner that students attend lectures at top universities of the world, for instance, Imperial College London, the University of Melbourne and so on. Besides, students stay at the university’s campus to get a real feel of what life at a top global university is like.
The objective of our outbound programs is to empower students with various facets of global exposure and experiential learning. These outbound programs offer cultural intelligence, academic development through lectures by faculty of prestigious universities, independent thinking and leadership development in the truest sense. These outbound programs are planned to offer a perfect blend of massive value addition in terms of academic learning or skill enhancement and thoughtful recreation.
With this vision, we created our first outbound program, a 7-night and 8-day trip to Australia, wherein students studied and stayed at the University of Melbourne (QS Ranking 19) and Macquarie University (QS Ranking 13). Students had an option to choose between two faculty-led programs: Public Speaking and Leadership and Business and Entrepreneurship. The program received an overwhelming response from schools across North India and students travelled in cohorts with all safety and security measures in place.
In the near future, we are bringing a host of outbound programs across a broad spectrum of academic domains and areas of holistic development. These will include intelligently crafted faculty-led programs at top-ranked universities across the world in disciplines such as AI, management, leadership, sports, linguistics, music and much more.
Stay tuned, amazing things are being planned!
Virtual opportunities connect faculty members or global trainers with students without having to worry about geographical boundaries. Faculty members or mentors from top universities take virtual bootcamps, workshops, webinars and much more. Like other programs, these opportunities can be across a wide range of academic domains as well as on soft skills like communication, hard skills like programming and other virtues of holistic development.
While we any day prefer in-person experiential learning, we don’t think virtual opportunities limit students either. Virtual programs offer a cost-effective, time-effective and boundless alternative for students to acquire knowledge and learning of international stature. Our virtual programs cut across time zones to deliver faculty-led learning to students of all ages and interests.
Our first virtual program, an AI in Entrepreneurship Workshop by Professor Loredana Padurean from Northeastern University, Boston, attracted huge interest from young AI enthusiasts across India. What was meant to be a two-hour workshop lasted for more than 3 hours as students expressed their love for the concepts and expressed their doubts without holding back. The certified workshop was open to students as young as 9th graders and it helped them get a basic understanding of AI and its applications in entrepreneurship in the most engaging manner.
Professor Loredana is not only a teacher but an author, a celebrated entrepreneur and a public speaker who carries the reputation of teaching through adventurous journeys. Our collaboration with her benefited more than 100 students who came together to learn irrespective of geographical boundaries.
In the near future, we are planning a host of virtual opportunities for students that will bring global education to their screens. We are always brainstorming to create unimaginable virtual experiences for students.
