Dr. Sevanthi Munisamy
(CBSE, Class of 2017-18)With the guidance and support of my teachers, I was able to gain admission to Universitas Gadjah Mada, Indonesia, and today, I serve as a Dental Officer at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM), Faculty of Dentistry. My teachers played a pivotal role in nurturing my discipline, resilience, and emphatic me, qualities that I strongly old in my professional life.
GIIS KL does more than prepare students for exams, it nurtures future-ready individuals with purpose, compassion, and the confidence to pursue their dreams. I am truly grateful to be part of this community.”
Kishantini Ganasan
(Alumna 2018)After leaving GIIS KL, I pursued my studies at the University of Reading in the UK, and today I’m working as a Marketing Specialist with Marcus Evans, a global company. Stepping into an international university environment and later into an International global corporate setting felt natural to me , because GIIS KL had already prepared me for it.
The diverse environment at GIIS KL exposed me to different cultures, perspectives, and ideas from a young age. It helped me become adaptive, open-minded, and confident in engaging with people from all walks of life. The discipline instilled through academics and co-curricular activities shaped my work ethic, while classroom discussions and presentations built the confidence I carry into every meeting and project today.
