A Campus on Wheels
For The Curious, The Creative, and The Courageous.
The Hind School redefines what a campus can be. Learning here is not confined to lecture halls but unfolds in the rhythms of everyday life in the markets of Mumbai, the crafts of Jaipur, the monasteries of Sikkim, and the innovation hubs of Bengaluru.
Our classrooms move with the country. Each region becomes a site of inquiry, every city a laboratory of ideas, and every community a source of knowledge. Learners travel, engage, and reflect, discovering how India thinks, creates, and evolves.
This model turns education into experience. Students learn from India itself from its people, its systems, and its stories. In one week of guided study and field immersion, they begin to see how geography shapes culture, how policy meets practice, and how tradition informs innovation.

Specialisation in India Studies
The Specialisation in India Studies is The Hind School’s flagship programme that introduces participants to the study of India through immersion, dialogue, and reflection. Each edition focuses on a distinct region, theme, and set of field experiences that connect academic learning with the country’s contemporary realities.
Every immersion combines lectures, field visits, and guided discussions with practitioners and scholars. The result is a learning experience that is multidisciplinary, applied, and deeply human.
