The Thought Bubbles……….<\/p>\n

What\u00a0is your experience about this\u00a0line of work?, Do you think I will be able to do it?, My city\/ town is so and so do you think a new school will do well?, I am already doing X do you think I will be able to contribute time to a school?, Post starting the project\u00a0what time can I start taking easy while running a school?, What are the challenges\u00a0one faces? What if ……………….?<\/p>\n

Since the blog has picked up\u00a0I have met people personally at my office and also I do get questions over my mail. I thought this makes a good topic for a post and could possibly help others to find answers to their dilemmas.<\/p>\n

My Journey<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Brighton's<\/p>\n

As you can read from my introduction below and from my linkedin profile<\/a>, I am an engineer and a communication specialist by education. Sometime around 2009-10, I decided to give up my job in Mumbai and throw my weight behind my idea of myself i.e. to work for myself. Between all the ideas I toyed around with the one which appealed most to me was starting something in education. My father has been involved with\u00a0\u00a0schools and colleges since the last two decades, so we thought of starting out with the same. We started in the year 2010 and\u00a0for some reason in Raipur – Chattisgarh that year somebody decided for the next few years will be\u00a0years of schools. So between 2009 – 2012 a slew of schools opened up and almost 90% of them were franchise of some or the other big brand. Brighton International School has weathered it all and now is a CBSE affiliated with a strength in thousand and has been able to sustain its expenses and operations. We decided to locate ourselves bang in the middle of a bevy of already existing schools. So from a modest beginning of\u00a0120 students, intense competition and constant comparisons, we have been to hold on to our own and have been able to carve a distinct identity for ourselves among the parents and teachers.<\/p>\n
