INDIA'S BEST CEO - “He Returned Not To Build An Institution, But To Architect A Generation”

July 2025

In an educational landscape often enamoured by optics, infrastructure, and superficial metrics, Mr. Raunak Jain stands out as a steward of purpose-driven transformation. As the Vice Chairman of Tula's International School and Tula’s Institute, his leadership represents a sophisticated recalibration of what it means to educate, not merely instruct.

INDIA'S BEST CEO - “He Returned Not To Build An Institution, But To Architect A Generation”

After earning a distinction in International Management and International Business from Royal Holloway, University of London, Mr. Jain had every opportunity to build a global career. But instead of staying abroad, he chose to come back to India—driven not by duty, but by a deep desire to create meaningful change and build something lasting at home.

At Tula's, he is not building institutions, he is shaping ecosystems. His philosophy is elegant in its simplicity yet profound in implication: “When a student thrives, the nation ascends.” His ethos, “Together we rise, together we touch the skies,” is the operating principle behind every pedagogical decision, policy reform, and campus initiative.
