Global University Systems (GUS), one of the largest and most innovative higher education companies in Europe, is now establishing a presence in India ‘GUS Education (India) LLP’ to boost technological developments, digital initiatives and enterprise capabilities for the education sector.

“We want to make the most of the country’s entrepreneurial and highly-qualified workforce to develop the next wave of technology and advanced processes in the education sector. We will be working very closely with blue-chip companies and start-ups in India and internationally to achieve that,” he further added.
Leading the India operations in Hyderabad is Shashi Jaligama, who joined GUS in London five years ago. Now, as Managing Director for GUS Education (India) LLP, Shashi Jaligama said, “We will be offering a wide range of career opportunities for tech-savvy professionals in Hyderabad. The ambition is to lead the way when it comes to innovation and technology for the education industry and we will need the most creative and talented professionals to join GUS to support our global operations and local clients.”
