The Chairman
Mr. Raj Singh Gehlot
The dynamic and charismatic chairman of Ambience group of Companies is a man with a heart of gold. A chartered accountant by profession, his dream is to establish a world class institution that provides a safe and stimulating environment, where children are nurtured with love and care. The school is the realization of a long cherished dream of his late father Shri Nihal Singh, a visionary educator and thought leader of his times. An extraordinarily disciplined man, Mr. Gehlot feels that the importance of discipline and education in the life of an individual cannot be overstated. It shapes an individual and influences the choices made by him in later years. He believes that every child has the inherent capability to succeed, all they need is the right atmosphere which encourages discovery, a spirit of enquiry and the ability to communicate effectively. According to him education must be meaningful and relevant and must equip the child with the necessary life skills that are required to become valuable members of the society.

A hands-on person herself she encourages experiential learning, as children learn best by doing. Her belief is that every individual should strive towards becoming the best they can be.
