The Guiding Voice | Guidance Table by Bower
India vs Abroad: What Creates Real Long-Term Advantage?
Geography vs Exposure, Skills & Networks
At Bower School of Entrepreneurship, we believe undergraduate decisions should not be driven by trends, destinations, or social pressure but by clarity, capability, and long-term readiness.
This belief shaped a recent Guidance Table conversation that brought together counsellors who guide students at some of the most defining moments of their academic journeys.
Moderated by Alpana Kataria,
Faculty | Bower School of Entrepreneurship
3,000+ students guided across academic transitions
the discussion explored a critical question facing families today:
Does studying abroad automatically guarantee an advantage — or does real value come from exposure, skills, and decision-making ability?
Joining the table were counsellors representing diverse school ecosystems:
• Vandana Dadi — The Shri Ram Universal School, Hyderabad
• Wajendra Tuvvapati — Meru International School
• Kannaka Durga — International School of Hyderabad
• Ghotra Rozy — Sancta Maria International School
• Mir Mahmood Ali — Careerifyx
Across perspectives, one insight emerged clearly:
Students don’t just need options, they need judgment.
They don’t just need degrees, they need direction.
And they don’t just need access, they need exposure that builds capability and networks, wherever they choose to study.
Guiding Voices by Bower is our ongoing effort to surface practitioner-led conversations centering counsellors and educators who help students think beyond credentials and towards intentional, future-ready choices.
Because the future of undergraduate education will be shaped not only by institutions
but by the quality of guidance students receive before they choose

Beyond the Degree: What Should an Undergraduate Actually Prepare Students For in 2035?
Credentials vs Direction, Capability & Judgment
At Bower School of Entrepreneurship, we believe undergraduate education must move beyond outcomes and titles and instead help students develop clarity, judgment, and the ability to make informed decisions in an increasingly complex world.
This belief shaped a recent Guidance Table conversation, moderated by Bhavna Ma’am, Faculty at Bower School of Entrepreneurship, who works closely with students on readiness, reflection, and decision-making.
The table brought together counsellors representing diverse school ecosystems:
Shweta Vaze Shriram Universal School (TSUS)
Saritha Chirec International School, Balanagar
Pranavi Arbor International School
Vidya Anand Ganges Valley School
Across the discussion, one shared insight emerged clearly:
students don’t just need degrees they need direction.
They don’t just need options they need judgment.
And they don’t just need preparation for college but for life beyond it.
Guiding Voices by Bower is an ongoing effort to bring practitioner-led conversations into the open centering the voices of counsellors and educators who guide students at moments that shape their futures.
Because the future of undergraduate education will be defined not only by institutions, but by the quality of guidance students receive before they choose.
