Vinod envisions a future where quality education is available to every child in the country, which is the key motivating factor that drove him to pivot from a globetrotting IT executive to an International School Consultant. He has delivered new school setup services to 100+ clients and ancillary services to almost 10000+ schools across the country.
Ms Subhashini Nannapaneni is a founding member of School Serv. She has been instrumental in charting the roots of School Serv and several new schools in India. She has facilitated learning programs besides introducing cutting edge technology to give schools a competitive edge.
The Indian education system is the most vibrant with 15 lakh+
schools but is beset with a host of issues as managements find it difficult to comply to all the rules mandated by the government and cater to the ever-increasing demands from parents and students. School Serv, headquartered in Bengaluru has helped several private schools enhance their reputation and work efficiently.
The consultancy has successfully navigated through every major shift in the K-12 education scenario in India and assisted clients from every region of India to establish landmark institutions. Partner schools approach education with a global outlook to accomplish empowerment of local communities.
When asked what are the main issues that schools encounter, Vinod Kakumanu says, “Majorly, schools are saddled with poor systems, are found wanting in technology adoption, infrastructure is not at par with the current trends, have lofty vision, are unable to accomplish goals and there is asymmetry between market perception of the school and the on-ground reality.”
School consultants provide end to end service which includes planning the concept of school, budgeting, master planning, architecture, interior design, statutory guidance, academic programs, hiring staff, skill development, branding, marketing, admissions and operational assistance and school management services.
School management and operations are considerably more viable when professional consultation is involved as the assistance comes handy in terms of curriculum enforcement, teacher and staff recruitment, supplying the school and maintenance of standards according to the statutory and affiliation board’s directions. School Serv is one such consultant. The highly competent team of recruitment experts at School Serv optimizes skills and technology to ensure the best and the most efficient recruitment experience for partner schools through its dedicated recruitment platform EducatorOne.
The consulting services for a new school project in India are bifurcated in Pre-Commissioning & Post Commissioning phases. Right from creating vision & philosophy and aiding with business and helping make strategic choices for board affiliation as well as curriculum planning to human resource and recruitment of staff, school consultants have the scope for designing end to end project plans for their partner schools.
Some schools that School Serv has helped establish and sustain include Samyuktha International School, Sangareddy, Telangana; Candiidus International School, Hyderabad, Telangana; Wellsprings Academy, Bangalore; Next Gen International School, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh and Atlantis – The World School, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh.
