The Shree Chanakya Education Society (SCES) was established in February 1994, under the visionary leadership of Dr. Tarita Shankar, with the aim of providing top-quality post-graduate education in the ?elds of business management, international business, and information technology. By consistently providing quality education over the past few decades, the institutes at Indira Group are now considered one of the best institutes in Pune. At a time when India was struggling to put its economy back on its feet, after the nation had pawned the “family jewels” just to keep a?oat, Dr. Tarita Shankar sensed that education too would have to become more broad-based and more vocational in nature if India was to stand up to the world competition in quality and price for its products. The then Finance Minister had prescribed for the economy and so, in 1994, began a saga of growth and quality in education—a story that is just reaching its zenith with 14 full-edged institutes registering a strong presence on Pune’s educational horizon. Since inception, the institutes managed by SCES have maintained high academic standards and have successfully provided trained manpower to the industrial and services sectors of the country. These institutes are now listed among the top colleges not just in Pune but also in Maharashtra and India. With a modest strength of 60 students pursuing a single course, SCES has grown steadily and today boasts 14 institutes, with more than 8000 students from all over India pursuing multi-disciplinary, graduate, and post-graduate programs. The objective of the institute, which is to ‘provide management education in a corporate environment’, has been possible due to the sincere and dedicated efforts of the members of SCES, who have invaluable experience in varied areas like academics, industry, service, and the social world.
