I'm Sumit Rai, founder of ZGEN—Zero Barriers, University Global Education Network—a platform reimagining higher education as global, inclusive, and without limits. At ZGEN, we connect students, faculty, and universities into a seamless ecosystem—driving cross-border collaboration through joint degrees, global internships, research networks, and intelligent matchmaking.

As a career coach and strategist, I’ve guided thousands through international academic and career pathways with a student-first, ethics-driven approach. My background in education marketing and partnerships fuels a clear mission: to turn aspiration into access and remove barriers that limit opportunity.

ZGEN is more than a platform—it’s a movement to reshape global education. I believe learning, like life, should be an adventure without borders. And with ZGEN, we're making that future real—one student, one institution, and one breakthrough at a time.
Let’s connect and build the bridge to a borderless future together...
