CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

chairman's message

Our mission is to provide the children of India with the necessary skills to face the challenges of the 21st century

The Podar Education Group's legacy is long and enduring. For over nine decades, the Podar family has made education its mission and quality the cornerstone of its commitment. Today, Podar International Schools and Podar Partner Schools serve over 2,50,000 learners annually. With this trust comes a deep responsibility - to shape not only the students' academic journeys, but also their values, character, and future.

At Podar, true education goes beyond rote learning. Every child is encouraged to question, imagine, and innovate. Our learner-centric curriculum blends India's cultural values with global best practices and a strong focus on technology - from coding and robotics to artificial intelligence and digital citizenship - ensuring students are equipped with the latest tools to succeed in the 21st century.

At Podar International School, our purpose is clear - to nurture creative, critical, and independent thinkers who are prepared to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

As we welcome each new generation, our expectations are as high as our aspirations - that every Podar student will grow into a responsible, compassionate global citizen and a proud contributor to society. With every passing year, we strive to scale new heights of excellence, never standing still, always moving forward.

Sincerely,
Dr. Pavan Podar
