About the Podcast

Where India's Education
Leaders Speak Freely

India's education leaders have remarkable stories to tell. We built a platform worthy of those stories.

Our Mission
Every institution has a story worth telling. We help you tell it.

The IES Podcast was born from a simple observation: India's best education leaders were doing extraordinary work, but their stories rarely made it beyond their campuses.

With 10 episodes and 9 guest testimonials, every conversation is organic and unscripted, recorded on campus, and produced to a standard that reflects the seriousness of the conversation. Distributed on YouTube and reaching education leaders and students worldwide.
