Karan M. Kakade
Executive Director
Welcome to Shantiniketan, a visionary educational institution committed to nurturing compassionate, responsible, and globally-minded individuals. As the Executive Director, I am honoured to carry forward the legacy of my mother, who founded this school in 2006. Growing up, I witnessed her tireless efforts to build a nurturing environment where students could thrive. Today, I am proud to lead this institution with the same passion and dedication.
At Shantiniketan, we believe education goes beyond traditional learning. We empower our students to become active agents of positive change, equipping them with the skills, knowledge, and values to shape a better future. Our holistic approach emphasizes learning that extends beyond the classroom, fostering critical thinking, creativity, and innovation. We nurture emotional intelligence, empathy, and social responsibility while cultivating leadership qualities and teamwork skills.
Our teachers are the backbone of our Institution, and we are committed to their continuous growth. Through workshops, field trips, and a culture of collaboration, we
ensure they are well-equipped to inspire and guide our students. Our alumni network also plays a vital role in motivating current students, sharing insights into career paths and professional development. Recognizing the pivotal role of quality education in shaping our nation’s future, we have built a balanced approach that integrates teaching, non-teaching, and administrative roles into a supportive ecosystem.
Join us on this transformative journey at Shantiniketan, where we prepare students to succeed in an ever-evolving world.
