Gujarat • Diamond & Textile Capital of the World

Education Consultants in Surat

Where 90% of World's Diamonds Get Their Sparkle

Surat is the diamond cutting and polishing capital of the world—processing 90% of global rough diamonds. Combined with its 40% share of India's textile production, the city has created extraordinary concentrated wealth. Yet premium education options remain surprisingly limited for this economic powerhouse.

The Education Gap

Why Surat Needs More Premium Schools

Despite growing demand, affluent families face limited quality options.

Wealth-Education Mismatch

Diamond merchants with ₹100+ crore businesses often have no quality IB/IGCSE options locally. Many send children to Ahmedabad or Mumbai boarding schools.

Ahmedabad Commute

Families commute children 260+ km to Ahmedabad for IB schools, or pay ₹15-20 lakh annually for boarding—both unsatisfactory solutions.

Brain Drain Risk

Children educated outside Surat build networks elsewhere and rarely return to family businesses—a succession crisis in the making.

The Premium Day School Opportunity

A well-positioned IB/IGCSE school in Surat can capture demand from 50,000+ premium families. Strategic location near professional hubs is critical for success.

First-Mover Advantage

With only <3 IB/IGCSE schools serving 50,000+ families, the supply-demand gap creates significant opportunity for well-executed new entrants.

Regional Opportunity
