Chancellor's Origin Story

Tarun Anand’s journey from a door-to-door salesman to a global CEO, overseeing 10,000 employees in 136 countries, embodies the transformative impact of value-based quality education of his parents, teachers and mentors.

Tarun recognized that success is not just about reaching the top but about also supporting others to rise and create a huge societal impact.
