Indraman Singh is an inspiration to many. He completed his primary education in a village and worked as a servant to complete his secondary education. His high hopes for pursuing education made him take up challenges that include working as a waiter in a small inn. He joined a night school to complete his metric and technical education.

His dream has turned into a reality today due to his hard work and dedication. He started with just five students in his first and very small school in Bhosari, on August 15, 1982. The school has today evolved into one of the best schools in Pune. Over the years, the number of students has also grown to over 15,000 in the Priyadarshani Group of Schools and Colleges.

The institution today has a group of schools and colleges in four different locations that continue to grow at rapid pace.

The Indian Achievers Awards celebrate in the achievers not the magnitude of their success but the intensity of the efforts they have put into their work. The winners are honored for their spirit, for their nerve to soldier on despite odds, for making their dreams real, for their commitment to the society. To win an Indian Achievers Award, size does not matter; spunk does.
