Global 
Your Friend. Your Future.
Helping children grow into compassionate leaders, with a clear plan for their future.
Global Yuva LLC is an education consulting and leadership development enterprise started by a father, teacher and coach along with his daughter. We help families with the things school rarely has time for: character, confidence, and a plan from the early grades to a first job.

Why I started Global Yuva
I studied by the light of a kerosene lamp in a small village. Education took me from there to leadership roles in American companies, and I have never forgotten what a good teacher and a clear plan did for me.
Since 2018 I have taught career and leadership sessions in high schools in South Carolina and North Carolina. The same questions come up every time. What should I study? How do colleges choose? How do I pay for it? Who can I ask? Too many good students and caring parents are guessing.
So my daughter Aadya and I built the help we wished every family had: honest guides, simple tools, and courses that build character as well as skills. Much of it is free.
Values come first for me. Comfort fades. Values stay.
“Arise, awake, and stop not till the goal is reached.”Swami Vivekananda, the motto that guides Global Yuva
