On December 11, 2025, the 2nd edition of Prestigious Education Brands 2025 was successfully held at the Novotel Mumbai International Airport, with Podar International School being honoured with the award for its remarkable contribution to educational excellence. The event brought together distinguished academic leaders, policymakers, and education experts to discuss the evolving role of institutions in shaping the future of learning and their growing influence on students and society. The awards focused on how education brands are evolving into dynamic ecosystems that prioritise innovation, ethics, employability, and community engagement.

As India's education sector is poised to reach a projected valuation of USD 225 billion by 2027, institutions are increasingly evaluated not only on traditional factors, such as rankings and placements, but also on their purpose, inclusivity, global vision, and societal impact. This growing trend underscored the significance of the evening’s discussions on how education brands are pushing boundaries to make lasting contributions to society.
