Sunita Gandhi was selected to the Young Professionals Programme at the World Bank, Washington, DC, USA, where she worked on education policy and development for nearly 10 years and she was honoured with the 'Most Outstanding Contribution to Development Award'. Sunita Gandhi established the Council for Global Education in Washington, DC, USA, the Education Society of Iceland, Islensku menntasamtokin ses, Iceland, and the Nurture International Welfare Society, India, to promote a new vision of education.

She started her first school for the underprivileged at the age of 14 in the backyard of her home.

Sunita Gandhi has travelled to and studied education systems in 38 countries. Her vision-led mission in education has been guided by her scientific training. She has founded and run experimental schools in India, the Czech Republic, and Iceland, and piloted personalised study materials and assessments in the US and the UK. Her work based on the principle of ‘Compete with Yourself!' has appealed to educators worldwide and her Nurture school affiliations and franchise partnership programmes aim at school transformation.

Sunita Gandhi is uniquely placed in education by the rare combination that she not only grew up to a family of committed educators and used this vantage point to engage at the level of pedagogy and philosophy within the laboratory of her own family-run school and others she founded, she also has had the opportunity working at top policy levels in education worldwide. Her rich and varied experience in education in countries across the globe has spanned a vast range from the bottom-up grass roots level to the top-down policy work.
