Mitesh Patel

"I am a School Principal with over 16 years of progressive experience in teaching, academic coordination, and institutional leadership across CBSE and State Board curricula, encompassing standalone schools, a group/chain of schools, and residential (boarding) school environments in Gujarat. Over the course of my career, I have led schools with enrolments of 1,200 to over 1,500 students — including a residential institution I helped scale from its foundational stage of 150 students. My areas of expertise include CBSE/GSEB affiliation and compliance, policy and SOP development, examination administration (CBSE-AISSE/AISSCE, NTA-NEET UG), teacher recruitment and training, and technology integration in education, in alignment with the National Education Policy 2020 and NCF 2023. I am committed to fostering collaborative, high-performing school cultures through data-driven, value-based leadership. In recognition of this work, I was named IPN – India's Most Impactful School Leader 2025."
