Spain is fast becoming a favourite destination to study for Indian students

Bringing India and Spain together, the Spanish consul general Fernando Heredia hosted a Spanish National Day at the Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai recently.

Education emerged as one of the key topics discussed at the event, which was graced by Maharashtra Minister of Environment and Climate Change Aaditya Thackeray, BMC Commissioner Iqbal Singh Chahal and the consul generals of several other countries.

Emerging study destination
“Education is the only way to bring countries closer together and with the increasing number of Indian students who want to study abroad, I see Spain as an emerging ‘Study Abroad’ destination,” says education counsellor Dr Karan Gupta. Gupta, a former alumnus of IE, is also the managing director of the IE South Asia office.


“At IE University in Spain, innovation and entrepreneurship are ingrained in all our courses and this is what attracts a large number of Indian students to IE. Taking into account the financial challenges that students are facing due to the pandemic, we are offering special scholarships for Indian students,” he adds.
