Piramal Group is set to enter the higher education space, in particular the learning and development space, with the establishment of Piramal School of Leadership in Jaipur, Rajasthan. This was announced by Chairman of the Group, Ajay Piramal, in an interview with a business magazine last week. He was sharing the vision of Piramal Foundation when he said that, “the aim of the institute would be to train mid-management executives from key state and central departments.”
“The vision behind Piramal Foundation is how to help the government and people around to get the best out of their abilities. The idea behind it is that we take up tasks and projects which not many people do. We take guidance from what the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi, wants in the Amritkaal. We work in the aspirational districts which have a major population,” said Piramal.
The School of Leadership, spanning 32 acres, is designed to annually train approximately 50,000 leaders, with the potential to increase to 150,000 at full capacity.
The institute is expected to commence operations by December 2025. There will be five specialised schools on the campus, imparting learning across crucial development sectors, aligning closely with government initiatives. The five schools include the School of Education and Systems Change, School of Health, School of Climate and Sustainability, School of Justice, and School of Inclusion.
In the interview, the industry captain also imparted life lessons that propelled him to carry forward his grandfather’s legacy. He emphasised the belief in both business and foundation, stressing the principle of doing well while also doing good. His message to millennials is that there are huge opportunities in India, and young minds must participate in making valuable moves and share with people around.
