In the heart of South Mumbai, nestled between heritage and progress, stands a school whose story has quietly — yet powerfully — shaped generations. HVB Global Academy, formerly known as Hindi Vidya Bhavan, began its journey on 1st July 1963 with a bold vision: to provide education that honoured India’s cultural roots while embracing a rapidly changing world.
Inaugurated by the then Prime Minister, Shri Morarji Desai, HVB started as a humble yet ambitious institution. Six decades later, that seed has flourished into a thriving educational ecosystem — firmly rooted in values, yet confidently reaching toward the future.
The transformation has extended far beyond infrastructure or curriculum updates. It represents a shift in mindset — from teaching for examinations to teaching for life. HVBGA’s journey reflects a profound evolution: one that places learner agency, emotional well-being, and real-world readiness at the centre of education. This commitment is evident through the diverse range of student clubs that foster creativity, leadership, and collaboration.
A turning point came with the introduction of the Happiness Quotient (HQ) — a measure of growth not only in grades but in joy, purpose, and self-awareness. In 2025, this philosophy deepened with the launch of the Happy Adult (HA) framework, championing andragogy and nurturing self-directed, lifelong learners.
Today, HVB Global Academy stands as a full Cambridge Pathway School and a proud Cambridge PDQ Centre, guiding both students and educators on their journeys of growth and transformation.
The school’s distinguished alumni — including stalwarts like Mr. Uday Kotak, the late Mr. Rakesh Jhunjhunwala, Mr. Vallabh Bhansali, and many more — are living proof of the institution’s impact. Their contributions to business, society, and nation-building exemplify HVB’s ethos: nurturing imagination, inspiring excellence, and shaping leaders who make a difference.
From its visionary beginnings to its forward-thinking present, HVB’s story is a testament to what becomes possible when legacy meets innovation — and when education dares to evolve with the times. The leaders of yesterday continue to inspire the changemakers of today, ensuring HVB’s legacy remains forever in motion.
