Modern India is one of the most diverse countries in the world, a subcontinent home to over 100 languages, over 700 different tribes and every major religion in the world. India’s diversity is reflected in its religions, ethnicities, and customs across a population of 1.4 billion people. Yet many institutions often fail to consider the full diversity of India in their recruitment strategies and treat it as a homogenous market.
Our latest report explores the complexities of this vast and diverse nation. We encourage institutions to treat India as a continent, not a country, in order to maximize recruitment potential and foster student success.
