Vikaasa schools offers education in international curricula like Cambridge IGCSE & ICSE. Their meritorious legacy of academic excellence has run through generations, with many alumni going on to have illustrious careers in high positions in different fields like finance, banking, etc. One alumnus, Mr. Anand Selvakesari, was recently appointed the Chief Operating Officer of Citigroup Inc.

GSF's extensive network of international teachers will also be available to Vikaasa teachers, who can expand their skills through collaboration and polish their competencies through professional development courses. In addition, GSF University - the skills and development arm of GSF - will also offer courses to staff to help train them in skills and develop their subject-matter expertise.
"We believe that this GSF partnership will further bolster our existing programmes of student exchange, great academic results, and university counselling to nurture students into global leaders," said Vikaasa's founder, Mr. Biju Sudhakaran. "l am excited to see the positive impact it will have on our student community."
Welcoming the partnership, GSF India Country Director Mr. Ashish Tibdewal said, "We are pleased to be strategically partnering with Vikaasa.
