Statement of Chief Knowledge Officer Phil Baty at THE
According to him, "It’s great to see India continue to secure a number of positions in the top 100. India’s record number of participating institutions this year is a testament to the willingness of its universities to stand up on the regional and world stage to showcase their strengths and benchmark against their peers. We hope that we continue to see numbers grow over the coming years as Indian universities adapt to the post-COVID world, and the opportunities it may present to attract and retain more regional students and academic staff as disruption to traditional talent flow continues."
