An epitome of dynamic leadership, Dr. Deepak Madhok showed a keen scholastic aptitude throughout his schooling years, which culminated in a Post Graduate degree in Biochemistry from Allahabad University. He subsequently joined the Provincial Civil Services of the state as an Administrative Officer Class I in June 1979. His versatility as an Administrator was ably reflected in his career span of 11 years.
He held the coveted posts of Assistant/Deputy Administrator of the Municipal Corporation, Varanasi, and many other senior administrative posts.
Due to his sheer love for education and die-hard commitment to doing something bigger and better for society, he resigned from his job in 1990. After he resigned from the civil services, he took over the reins of the Sunbeam Group and since then, by dint of his arduous efforts and immense dedication, has redefined the concept of education in the entire Uttar Pradesh.
Under his able guidance, the Sunbeam Group now comprises seven schools affiliated to the CBSE, two Women’s Colleges offering graduate and Post Graduate programs affiliated to the MGKV University, four hostels housing more than 2,500 students, and 17 Associate Schools under the banner of DHK Eduserve Ltd spread across the state of Uttar Pradesh.
He has never believed in resting on his laurels and achievements, instead, he believes that there is always a scope for improvement and innovation. His one-line philosophy for his school is to make the children happy on the school premises, and learning will follow. Twenty -five thousand happy families imposing their trust on Sunbeam and entrusting their most valued possession to the schools that are under his direct leadership vouch for the fact that even the word “successful” is an understatement. He is extremely well-read and goes all out to satiate his thirst for knowledge.
He inherited his knowledge of education from his parents – Prof. Amrit Lal Ishrat Madhok, who was a doyen of Persian Literature in the B.H.U. and his mother,
Mrs D. Ishrat Madhok, who was an educationist par excellence. It was their vision and Dr. Deepak’s enterprise that laid the foundation of what is now one of the most prolific educational conglomerates of the state, the Sunbeam Group of Educational Institutions.
He is a philanthropist who runs a free school, Sunbeam Gramin School Karsana, for socially underprivileged students in the rural area, with all possible educational aid. He also has an association with some social organizations viz Banwasi Kanya Ashram, Varanasi Society for Women’s Upliftment, Kashi Orphanage, Varanasi Remand Home, Society for Welfare of the Blind, Jago Banaras, Kashi Vikash Manch, etc.
A visionary with a multifaceted personality, always eager to learn and emulate, Dr. Deepak Madhok epitomizes a 21st-century edupreneur – learning, according to him, should always inspire and transform lives.
