What Asian Education Group does

Asian Education Group (AEG) is the education arm of Marwah Studios Enterprise, operating a portfolio of for-profit higher-education institutions headquartered in Noida, India, with additional resource centres in Mumbai and Kolkata. Founded in 1986, the group runs 10+ wholly-owned constituent colleges — Asian Business School (PGDM, AICTE-approved, NBA-accredited), Asian School of Business (BBA, BCA, B.Com, B.Sc CS, BA Psychology under CCS University), Asian Law College (B.A.LL.B., B.Com.LL.B., LL.B.), Asian Academy of Film & TV, Asian School of Media Studies, Asian School of Graphics & Animation, Asian School of Performing Arts, and Asian School of Communication — delivering 40+ diploma and degree programs across management, law, IT, media, performing arts, and communication to Indian students primarily in the Delhi NCR catchment.

AEG monetises almost exclusively through tuition fees across UG, PG, and diploma programs delivered at four world-class Noida campuses spanning roughly 2 lakh square feet, supplemented by ancillary revenue from international exposure programs (Oxford Business College, USC School of Cinematic Arts, University of Cape Town study trips), broadcasting assets (107.4 FM radio, Marwah Films & Video Production), and a monthly publication ('The Zine'). Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via institution-specific admission portals, campus events, education fairs, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube), and PR-driven earned media, supported by 450+ faculty and a 21,000+ alumni network. The group is privately held by the Marwah family; Dr. Sandeep Marwah serves as President, with Akshay Marwah as CEO of the parent Marwah Studios Enterprise. No external funding rounds, acquisitions, or AI/technology platform capabilities are disclosed in the source data, indicating a traditional, asset-heavy campus education model.
