The Diversity that Drives Acumen

At Acumen, diversity is not just a concept—it’s the very essence of who we are and how we operate. With a global presence spanning India, USA, UK, Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Australia, we are a vibrant mosaic of cultures, perspectives, and expertise. Our diversity fuels innovation, strengthens partnerships, and enables us to build meaningful connections that drive transformative impact.

A Global Network, Rooted in Excellence

Our journey begins in India, where the majority of our team operates. With over 200 employees spread across major cities like New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, and Bangalore, India serves as Acumen’s dynamic hub. From education service delivery to marketing, legal compliance, and finance, our India-based team powers the foundation that allows us to confidently serve clients globally.

But our reach extends far beyond India. In Malaysia and Indonesia, we collaborate with governments, schools, and education agents to drive impact. In Vietnam, our team mirrors the region’s rapid growth by crafting innovative solutions through key partnerships with local stakeholders. Meanwhile, our offices in Australia, the USA, and the UK work closely with globally renowned universities, offering strategic insights and recruitment expertise to support agility, growth, and innovation.

Connecting Universities Across Continents

Acumen’s diversity shines through the wide array of universities, schools, and government bodies we represent. Our In-Country Representatives (ICRs) collaborate with hundreds of the world’s most prestigious institutions, including, but not limited to:

• The University of Tokyo (Japan): Fostering academic excellence in Asia.
• Queen Mary University of London (UK): Driving innovation in education.
• The University of Auckland (New Zealand): Shaping global student experiences.
• University of Toronto (Canada): A leader in academic and research excellence.
• University of Sydney (Australia): Nurturing talent for global impact.

These examples represent just a fraction of the partnerships we’ve cultivated across continents, showcasing our ability to adapt to diverse markets and deliver tailored solutions for our partners worldwide.

Diversity in Action

At Acumen, our strength lies in how our globally distributed teams work as a cohesive unit. Despite being spread across continents and time zones, our people share ideas, strategies, and knowledge, enabling us to approach challenges holistically and deliver innovative solutions.

Diversity isn’t just about geography; it’s about the unique qualities, perspectives, and experiences each team member brings. From tailoring strategies for Southeast Asian markets to leveraging Western perspectives for cross-continental synergies, our team ensures that every partner benefits from an informed and forward-thinking approach.

PACE: Diversity in Action

Our PACE (Prospect, Admit, Convert, Enrol) services further underscore Acumen’s commitment to diversity. Spanning territories from Asia to the Americas, we deliver tailored solutions to streamline enrolment pipelines for universities across the globe. Whether it’s conducting multilingual applicant interviews in India, managing compliance checks in Australia, or executing digital marketing campaigns in the UK, PACE embodies Acumen’s global approach. By connecting students and institutions worldwide, we ensure that our partners benefit from improved speed, accuracy, and a deeper engagement with diverse markets.

People Resource Groups: Building Inclusive Connections

To further our mission of fostering inclusivity, Acumen has introduced People Resource Groups (PRGs). These interest-based and support-focused communities connect employees across regions, identities, and professional goals. From creative writing circles and crafting corners to groups supporting mental health, women in leadership, and cultural exchange, PRGs offer a platform for shared growth and connection.

These groups not only celebrate our diverse talents but also amplify the voices of our global team, creating spaces where ideas flourish and bonds strengthen.

People of Acumen Campaign

To celebrate the diversity that defines us, we’re launching the People of Acumen Campaign on our official Instagram account. This series highlights the incredible individuals who make Acumen what it is—one story at a time. Each post will unveil the journey of our team members—where they hail from, where they thrive, and the global universities they proudly represent, blended with their personal insights and professional experiences. By featuring team members who might be born in one region, working in another, and representing a university in yet another, this campaign beautifully illustrates the global tapestry of Acumen.

At Acumen, diversity isn’t just our strength—it’s our superpower. It fuels our creativity, drives our innovation, and cements our position as leaders in the global education ecosystem.
