About InvokED

A global dialogue on education leadership

Imagine a world where every child’s potential is realised, and leaders across communities, government, industry, and media come together to drive urgent, systemic change in education. InvokED is that unique space where diverse actors come together to catalyse collective action.

In the four editions so far, we have explored how education leadership is key to ensuring sustainable improvements in the education ecosystem and how Sarkaar (government), Samaaj (civil society), Bazaar (markets) and Sanchar(media) can enable collective action to build a movement towards education equity.
