Dino Varkey: GEMS Education

This is Homegrown DXB, hosted by Omar Butti, the show taking you inside the lives of the people changing yours, right here in Dubai.

Few names are as synonymous with education here in the Emirates than GEMS Education. In 1959, twelve years before the founding of the UAE, Mariama and K.S. Varkey came to Dubai to start what they thought would be a humble tutoring business, but it became so much more than that. Beginning with the founding of our Own English Highschool in 1968, the Varkeys went to grow an education empire than spans the Middle East, Africa, Asia, Europe, and the United States.

Dino Varkey is the inheritor of that proud educational legacy. As the current group CEO of GEMS Education, he has his own grand ambitions make to GEMS not just the biggest private education provider in the region, but one to rival the biggest in the world.
