Education in India is changing fast. What once worked in classrooms doesn’t always fit the world students are stepping into today. That’s why we’ve put together this special 2025 edition: The Most Inspiring Education Leaders in India. These are the people rethinking how we teach, how students learn, and what education can look like when it’s truly built for the future.
Each of these leaders brings a different story. Some have transformed schools in remote corners of the country. Others are shaping national conversations or making an impact around the world. What they share is a clear purpose and a deep belief in the power of education to create real change. Their work gives us a glimpse of where education is headed—and why it matters now more than ever for India’s future.
