TRANSFORMING VISION INTO REALITY:
ESTABLISHING A HIGHER EDUCATIONAL AFFILIATED INSTITUTE IN AHMEDABAD, GUJARAT
In Gujarat’s dynamic landscape, a prominent business group envisioned giving back to society by developing a higher educational institute. With a focus on fostering holistic development, they aimed to introduce Gujarat Technological University (GTU) Affiliated programs in engineering, technology, management, law, and hospitality. However, the journey from vision to reality was not without its challenges. The promoters faced significant hurdles in location assessment, managing high initial capital costs, and ensuring long-term financial sustainability.
Eduprogress was privileged to support this transformative endeavor. Through meticulous research and strategic advisory, we helped the promoters navigate these challenges effectively. We proposed market-aligned academic programs, including diploma, undergraduate, and short-term certificate courses tailored to industry demands. A detailed locational assessment helped identify viable land options, balancing cost and convenience. To address financial constraints, we recommended launching the institute on a cost-efficient leasing model in collaboration with industry partners, minimizing upfront investment while ensuring programmatic flexibility.
Additionally, our comparative analysis of legal structures led to the adoption of the Section 8 Company model, providing a robust framework for governance and access to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funding. A comprehensive seven-year financial plan outlined capital and operational expenses, offering a sustainable roadmap to achieve long-term viability.
This collaborative effort resulted in a well-rounded plan that significantly reduced the initial capital outlay while laying a strong foundation for the institute’s success. Today, the vision of establishing a premier educational institute in Ahmedabad is taking shape, poised to impact countless lives and drive societal progress.
At Eduprogress, we take immense pride in turning aspirations into actionable strategies. This success story underscores our commitment to enabling ambitious projects in education through expert advisory and innovative solutions.
