Shankara Group

What Shankara Group does

Shankara Group of Institutions is a privately held Indian higher-education provider operating under the charitable SK Chaudhary Education Trust (SKCET), led by President Shri Sant Kumar Chaudhary. The group's operational nucleus is the New Delhi Institute of Information Technology & Management (NDIIT), which delivers three degree programs — a 2-year MBA, a 3-year BBA, and a 3-year BCA — all affiliated with Rajasthan University and delivered via a technical collaboration with Shankara Mahavidyalaya, Jaipur (NAAC 'A' Grade, MHRD-accredited).

The operating model is a trust-owned, non-venture-backed education business rather than a technology or SaaS enterprise. The institution competes on faculty pedigree (IIM, IIT, IIFT, FMS Delhi, Delhi University), industry-aligned pedagogy (live case studies, six-month internships, industrial visits), and recruiter access — claiming a 16-year placement track record with 15+ onboarded corporate recruiters and a campus surrounded by 1,000+ companies. Foreign-language certification (Japanese/Spanish/French) and international scholarship pathways are positioned as differentiators.

The go-to-market is direct-enrollment: prospective students are acquired via phone inquiries on two published mobile lines and a website lead form, with no digital advertising, channel partners, or pricing transparency disclosed. Revenue mechanics (tuition fees, scholarship structures, financial assistance terms) are not published; headcount is reported at 23 employees across the group. Beyond NDIIT, the parent SKCET operates an unrelated portfolio spanning primary schools, inter-degree colleges, technical colleges, eye hospitals, nursing colleges, and Krishi Vigyan Kendra agricultural programs across Bihar, Rajasthan, Delhi, Maharashtra, and Tamil Nadu. There are no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, product launches, or technology investments in the input data.
