Anup Varghese, uses his life experiences from the educational and professional spheres to inspire the youth of Dubai. With a resonant mantra of “Dream big, work hard, stay humble,” Anup devotes his scarce free time to guiding middle and high school students toward ambitious aspirations and diligent pursuit of their goals. Over the past year, he has reached out to over 3,000 students across numerous schools, providing them with valuable insights that could significantly enhance their success as they transition to university and into their professional lives.
Growing up in the UAE, Anup’s experiences are both relatable and relevant, providing a foundation for his teachings. He stresses the importance of ‘ambition setting’—a critical first step in life’s journey where goals provide direction and motivation. “Without setting ambitions, there is no goal, no directional steer in life,” Anup often explains during his sessions. He emphasizes the need for a clear pathway with intent, teaching students that achieving significant goals requires more than just dreaming; it demands action and perseverance.
During a recent talk with middle school students, Anup shared a powerful message: “Don’t expect to wake up one day and see an admit letter from a university in your inbox. You need intent first. You need to apply, compete, and stand out. Then one day, you will get the admit of your dreams. Everything that everyone has achieved started with intent one day; they dreamt it before it became their reality.”
Anup’s dedication to this cause is profound. He conducts these educational talks on a pro-bono basis, driven by a belief that contributing to the education of the next generation is a collective responsibility. “We all should play our part in inspiring the future generation of this world, who will be instrumental in solving real-world problems,” he asserts. This altruistic approach not only enriches the lives of the students he reaches but also sets a high standard for professional success combined with personal humility and social responsibility.

His academic credentials are equally impressive, with a postgraduate degree from the prestigious University of Oxford. These roles, combined with his voluntary educational initiatives, paint a picture of a leader dedicated to both professional excellence and community service.
As Anup continues to inspire and guide the youth of Dubai, his story is a compelling reminder that true success is measured not just by what we achieve for ourselves but by what we contribute to the greater good. His journey encourages all to dream, to strive, and to remain humble—a formula that not only propels individuals to great heights but also fosters a community of motivated, grounded future leaders.
