Sandeep Goenka, Trustee, CP Goenka Group Schools

In the ever-evolving landscape of education, CP Goenka Group School stands as a beacon of innovation, shaping the future of learning. As a trustee of this esteemed institution, I am proud to share the unique aspects that make our school a trailblazer in education.

My professional journey has traversed diverse industries, encompassing beverages, textiles, paper, and ultimately, education. Fueled by an unyielding thirst for growth, a profound passion for continuous learning, and a visionary commitment to contribute to an educated India, I transitioned into the realm of education.

In the year 2000, my family and I materialized our dedication to fostering education by establishing our inaugural school at Juhu, Mumbai. Driven by the aspiration to provide a comprehensive educational framework for the youth of India, I am dedicated to crafting a learning cycle that commences and concludes within the institutions I have passionately built. This vision is not a solitary pursuit; my wife, Mrs. Archana Goenka, is an integral partner, actively engaged in the administration and management of these educational establishments.

Together, we share a commitment to shaping the educational landscape, ensuring that our institutions become nurturing environments where students embark on a journey of holistic learning, preparing them for a future defined by knowledge, innovation, and societal contribution.
