I remember the moment vividly—a quiet evening, a blank notebook, and a head full of dreams. The idea of Prometheus wasn’t born in a boardroom or sketched out in spreadsheets. It was born in my heart, fueled by a simple yet profound belief: education should be transformative. Every child deserves more than just an education—they deserve the chance to become the best version of themselves.
When we started Prometheus, I didn’t just want to create another school. As a first-generation entrepreneur, I knew what it felt like to build from scratch and to long for opportunities that weren’t readily available. I wanted to create a world within a world, a space where children could explore their passions, fall, rise, and grow. I wanted a school where the joy of discovery would matter more than grades, where failure wasn’t feared but embraced as a stepping stone, and where dreams would find fertile soil to take root and thrive. And yet, a dream is just the beginning. It takes courage to transform a dream into action, and action into reality. The journey to build Prometheus was anything but easy. We had just opened our doors in 2019, and within a year, the pandemic disrupted everything. Overnight, classrooms transformed into virtual spaces, and the familiar rhythm of school life was upended. But every time the dream flickered, I reminded myself why we started.
From the beginning, I knew Prometheus had to be different. Every decision we made was rooted in one question: “What kind of opportunities would I have wanted as a child? When I walk through our halls today, I see more than students; I see future leaders, thinkers, and changemakers.
Entrepreneurship has always been at the heart of our vision. We strive to nurture a mindset of innovation and problem-solving. That’s why we don’t treat entrepreneurship as an extracurricular activity—it is integrated into the curriculum itself. We want students to understand that the classroom isn’t separate from the real world; it is, in fact, a bridge to it.
The incubation fund is a natural extension of this philosophy. With Rs. 1 crore dedicated to supporting student-led ventures, we have created a space where ideas can flourish. Students are encouraged to think critically, take risks, and apply what they learn in meaningful ways. They are confidently turning concepts into prototypes, presenting their ideas, and tackling challenges head-on.
And then there’s our shared dream of nurturing future Olympians. I’ve always believed that talent is universal, but opportunity is not. That’s why we invested in Olympic-standard facilities, not as a luxury, but as a necessity for students to dream big and have the resources to back those dreams. Watching our young equestrians, shooters and swimmers push their limits reminds me that every dream deserves its stage, and we’ve built ours. But if you ask me what makes Prometheus truly special, it’s not the facilities or the grants—it’s the people. Our educators have risen beyond their traditional role as teachers! They understand that education is not about filling minds with information but about unlocking the human spirit. They challenge students to think, to question, to imagine a world beyond textbooks, and to create one of their own.
We teach our students to embrace failure—not as an end, but as a beginning. I tell our students often: “If you’ve never failed, you’re not trying hard enough.” And when I see them take risks, stumble, and rise stronger, I know we’re building more than students. We are building resilience, courage, and character. The journey, however, has just begun, and the road ahead is bright with promise. Prometheus started as my dream, but today, it belongs to every student, teacher, and family who believes in it.
