TESTIMONIALS

I write to express my deepest gratitude for creating such an extraordinary platform that bridges borders and empowers learners like me with unparalleled opportunities to connect directly with renowned educators and experts worldwide. As someone hailing from Nagaland, a remote region in India’s Northeast, I have long dreamed of transcending geographical and financial barriers to pursue quality education. Due to limited resources, traveling beyond my home state for learning seemed impossible—until I discovered your initiative. This platform has been nothing short of transformative for me. Through your courses, I’ve gained invaluable insights into cutting-edge topics like artificial intelligence, modern warfare, and global technological advancements—subjects I could never have accessed otherwise. The chance to interact with distinguished scholars and practitioners has not only broadened my intellectual horizons but also reignited my aspirations for the future. I urge the Forum for Global Studies to continue this vital work. Your initiative is a lifeline for individuals in underserved regions like mine, offering hope and empowerment to those who lack access to conventional educational pathways. By democratizing knowledge, you are fostering a generation of globally aware, motivated learners. Thank you, once again, for your vision and dedication. You are making an immeasurable difference in lives across the globe.

I am grateful to have enrolled in the Certificate Course on Artificial Intelligence, National Security, and Warfare: Fundamentals and Interdependencies, offered by the Forum for Global Studies. This course provided valuable insights into the impact of AI on defense, cybersecurity, and global security dynamics. The well-structured curriculum, expert-led sessions, and engaging discussions created an enriching learning experience. I want to extend my sincere gratitude to all the experts and the organizing team for their efforts. A special thanks goes to Prof. Sandeep Tripathi for designing this course to cater to a wide range of learners. This course has broadened my perspective on AI in security and inspired me to explore the subject further. I highly recommend it to professionals and enthusiasts eager to understand AI’s strategic role. Once again, I express my heartfelt thanks to the Forum for Global Studies for this incredible learning opportunity.- Saurabh Meht, CAO and Professor, VIT, Mumbai.

My internship experience as a research intern has been immensely rewarding and enriching. Engaging in in-depth research projects honed my analytical and critical thinking skills, allowing me to dive deeper into complex topics and gain a nuanced understanding of the field. The practical skills and hands-on experience I acquired have equipped me with a solid foundation for future roles, and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to impactful projects.

Forum for Global Studies is one of India's leading think tanks, with a mission to enrich policymaking with cutting-age research. FGS especially focusses on in-depth research on global energy transformation and its implications on geopolitics, amongst many other areas of research. Through its programs, FGS seeks to establish linkages with multiple stakeholders with a view to share its empirical perspectives with the global community, thus promulgating its long-term vision of policy analysis. I hope Forum’s research in the form of surveys, policy recommendations, and analytical reports will help decision makers internationally in countries to anticipate and navigate the rapidly changing global energy landscape and manage the new geopolitical landscape.

In today's time when every piece of information is just a click away, it is crucial to filter information in an objective and factual format. That is what I believe the Forum of Global Studies as an independent, non-partisan think tank is trying to achieve. The Forum for Global Studies is an empirical platform to understand world order and international relations. It offers to study and analyses wide areas of topics that will enable an individual to learn about world affairs and express their views in a nuanced and constructive way.

Born as a multicultural and plural institution, FGS follows the path of its founder, Dr. Sandeep Tripathi, as an oriented platform to engage disruptive studies in many areas of knowledge, inviting us to innovate and keep developing our projects, minds and, why not, hearts and souls!
