EMPOWERING MINDS, TRANSFORMING LIVES
Mrs. Sushma Boppana, the CEO of Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions, is an influential leader spearheading a transformative movement in Indian education. She provides top-notch education through a countrywide network of schools that cater to students from various backgrounds.
THE JOURNEY TOWARDS EXCELLENCE
Mrs. Sushma Boppana graduated from the Birla Institute of Technology and Science, Pilani, with a degree in Computer Science and later pursued a master’s in Information Technology in the United States. As a post-graduate student, she realized she was more of a people person and preferred leadership jobs over hardware responsibilities. This inspired her to switch to Product Management. Today, Mrs. Boppana serves as the CEO and Academic Director of Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions, where she maintains her parents’ principle that education has a profound and transformative impact on one’s life. Over three decades ago, her parents, BS Rao and Jhansi Lakshmi Bai, established Sri Chaitanya Girls Junior College to provide quality education to young women in rural areas of Andhra Pradesh. With more than 950,000 students enrolled in more than 925 schools spread across more than 245 cities, Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions are currently among the country’s top educational institutions.
EMPOWERING STUDENTS THROUGH EXPANDED CURRICULUM
Sri Chaitanya Educational Institutions empower students with robust problem-solving skills by fostering a dynamic learning environment that blends rigorous training with unwavering motivation—preparing them to tackle life’s challenges head-on and emerge as true champions. Mrs. Boppana, acknowledging the challenges faced by students from diverse backgrounds, led the expansion of Sri Chaitanya’s curriculum to encompass kindergarten through 12th grade. This initiative provides students with a standardized foundation, reducing stress and boosting their performance in competitive exams. She strongly believes that schools should play a key role in broadening the horizons of both students and parents by increasing exposure to Olympiads, JEE, NEET, and other competitive exams that enhance skill development.
EDUCATING THROUGH DIGITALISATION
Mrs. Boppana wants to give pupils in India and abroad access to high-quality education. This idea gave rise to the development of Infinity Learn, an online platform that allows students to access Sri Chaitanya’s excellent teaching across national boundaries. Alongside functioning as an online tool for delivering education, it serves as a driver for transformative educational leadership. This individualized method allows students to study quickly in their preferred surroundings and encourages curiosity.
UPHOLDING THE FUNDAMENTAL VALUES
Mrs. Boppana upholds her belief in humanity and nobility. She emphasises that academic achievements are incomplete without instilling values such as moral integrity and compassion. She also ensures that students grow up with a strong sense of social responsibility.
ACHIEVEMENTS AND FUTURE ASPIRATIONS
Mrs. Boppana has elevated higher education through her forward-thinking and modern methods. She was featured in “Forbes India Magazine” and also recognized as “Times Exemplary Leader” in 2023. Under her leadership, Sri Chaitanya has been recognized as the “Best Educational Brand” by ET Now in 2024. Mrs. Boppana aims to offer top-notch education to students throughout India. Through her strong commitment and innovative mindset, she is determined to influence the future of education and significantly impact the lives of the younger generation.
