The Board & Principal
Shashank Goenka
Managing Director- Goenka Inc.
Mr. Goenka graduated from Purdue University, USA with a Bachelor’s in Science with a specialisation in Industrial Management. Hailing from a business background and equipped with an entrepreneurial spirit, he chose to lend his business acumen to something noble.
Having experienced the education curriculum in India as a student, and closely observing the system thereafter, he saw the gaps that needed to be bridged for education to be more holistic in India.
Moreover, his exposure to the global landscape urged him to take a step to set up an institution that emphasizes the students’ ability to learn, holistically imbibe knowledge and apply the same in every walk of life. His vision has been to enable students to push the boundaries of possibility so that with their learning they can fulfill their intellectual and social potential in the future. With this focus, the Goenka Global Education has been set up and prides itself on a progressive educational approach to learning and teaching.
At FIS Race Course in South Mumbai, learning life-skills together with academics is at the heart of our innovative pedagogy. Highly qualified FIS teachers will assure your children can reach their own full potential. We value a positive atmosphere and collaboration across the school. Working together is part of our daily routines.
To be part of our community, where your child is seen as an individual learner, please contact us. We look forward to hearing from you!
