    Good education is a dream of every child & parents irrespective of their social or economic status and hence there will always be a need and willingness to pay for it. I also believe it is easy to create a differentiated space because of lack of institution building willingness amongst thousands of entrepreneurial university ventures and the need for patience, time and resources to build one. I am nurturing a dream to build a world class education institution in higher education space... the time for which may just be around.
