Over the years, he has set up the Hiranandani Foundation School, successfully run the academic institutions of the HSNC Board – it is only in the fitness of things that his wish to go further and become an educationist comes true; as Provost of the newly set up HSNC University in Mumbai. Excellence was not confined just to his studies; as the ‘Developer extraordinaire’ as also ‘the one who redefined the skyline of Mumbai’, he has evolved into not just an industry leader, but also an IndustryKnowledge Guru.

Even as a Top real estate developer of a global repute to being the true ‘Real Estate Moghul’ of Indian Real Estate industry, he always had an affinity towards providing quality education to society at large.

He has the privilege of being on the boards of multiple educational institutions; then chaired the HSNC Board where he looked after 17 colleges and 8 schools. Adding a new feather in the cap as an educationist, he also runs vocational skill training centres and institutions for interdisciplinary learning.
