Podar Education was started and operates with the prime purpose of building young minds to spearhead a dynamic future globally. Podar’s vision is to be the epitome of excellence, stimulating, trusted and safe learning environments, embedded in Indian values, while creating independent thinkers.
In 1927 Sheth Anandilal Podar, an eminent Mumbai-based businessman, with interests in cotton mills, founded the Podar Group of Schools. Interestingly, Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of Nation, was the first President of the Anandilal Podar Trust (View the minutes of the first Trust meeting.) What began as a single institution is today a multi-school, multi-city, multi-brand entity, ambitiously executing a growth strategy with an emphasis on global standards.
Podar is a growing network which has a wide spectrum of brands including pre-primary options, primary and secondary schools, a junior college, part-time courses, and Teacher Training courses. Headquartered in Mumbai, Podar offers a wide choice of educational streams including Cambridge, International Baccalaureate (IB), ICSE, CBSE, and Secondary School Certificate (State Board). Podar Schools are considered among the Best Quality Schools wherever they operate.
- Podar World Schools Group has been featured by the world-renowned Cambridge University in their 50-year Anniversary publication “The Guide to Excellence: Top 100 Education Groups of the World”.
- Podar World School was ranked as the most “Influential Brand of the year 2018-19”
- Podar World School received “Top Schools in India Award”
As a result, Podar today is a trusted name and an acknowledged leader in the collective effort to shape the future of our children and the nation.
We welcome you to join the Podar family and to give your child the best when it comes to an integrated, holistic and empowering learning experience.
Message from Chairman’s Desk
Children may be 20% of the population, but they are 100% of the future.
Keeping this thought deep rooted in our minds, Podar strives to nurture every child so that each child can harness their inherent potential and spread their wings.
This century belongs to the youth. We at Podar believe in empowering our youth brigade with the resources that will allow them to take life’s most difficult challenges head-on and shine above the rest. At Podar, we train young minds to think independently, nurture them to excel at what they are best in.
The Podar Group of Schools started its first institution in 1927 with the prime purpose of building young minds to spearhead a dynamic future globally. We are committed to operate and manage schools that provide quality education with a focus on development that is in sync with the needs of the individual child.
Having a 97-year-old heritage, we are still guided by the ethics, values, and principles of the first President of Anandilal Podar Trust, Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi. Only when one can preserve deep rooted values along with the vision to stay up-to-date with this fast-paced world, can we ensure a bright future.
We are committed to giving our children only the best and holistic development, whether in academics or extra curriculars. Each student studying in Podar is a shining star of our Podar family, and we inculcate the philosophies and values that allow our stars to go out and change the world.
Mr. Raghav Podar
Chairman, Podar World School
