Dr. Daphne Pillai, Co-Founder of the Pillai Group of Institutions and Chairperson, Management Board, Mahatma Education Society.
“In this fiercely competitive world, success has several dimensions far widespread than the vortex of academia, spreading its tentacles into diverse fields on which one has to be adept in. Our objective at Pillai’s has always been to create a climate conductive to ‘endeavour’ that students can unleash their untapped potential. At Pillai’s, we will provide you the right environment which will enable you to fulfill all your aspirations and ambitions.”
Very often one is not even aware of one’s capabilities and we at Pillai’s believe that even if we succeed in making the student scratch the tip of the iceberg, we have set the ball rolling. Our chosen path has been appropriately vindicated by the plethora of prizes won by our students in diverse fields.
The years gone by has truly been momentous in several dimensions with Pillai’s having carved a niche for itself amongst the top-line institutions of learning affiliated to the Mumbai University. This bears testimony to the unstinted efforts of my dedicated team of the teachers who have succeeding in igniting the passion in student to excel. With the pool of student talent at the threshold of unleashing their potential, we can truly set our sights high for the coming years, and surpass our achievement never losing sight of our cherished goal to achieve excellence in all our endeavors.
Our endeavour is to take all the efforts to make sure that you graduate from Pillai’s to become a successful professional in corporate world, excellent researcher, dedicated teacher or an entrepreneur with vision of creating a business empire.
