  • Proven ability to mentor teachers and improve outcomes over time.
  • Strong stakeholder management — board, parents, regulators, vendors.
  • Comfortable with data — assessments, attendance, faculty metrics.

  • Predictable, on-time monthly compensation (₹9.5 LPA – ₹23.2 LPA).
  • Reasonable workload with planned holidays per the calendar.
