Real estate developer Salarpuria Sattva Group, which runs the Greenwood High International School in Bangalore, is looking at expanding into other cities.
For this expansion, “we have earmarked an investment of Rs 200 crore for the next two years,” Mr Bijay Agarwal, Managing Director, Salarpuria Sattva Group, told Business Line.
Expansion plan
The Greenwood High International School in Bangalore has 1,900 students.
The Greenwood High brand offers two separate schools — pre-school and main school.
The plan is to have six Greenwood High campuses and 15 pre-schools in the country in the next two years.
In Hyderabad
The company has already acquired one more school in Bangalore, he said.
“We are also in talks with one more school in Hyderabad,” he added.
Greenfield model
Salarpuria Sattva Group is looking at the greenfield model for Nagpur and Kolkata, and has already acquired land in these cities. “We have acquired 30 acres in Nagpur, and 10 acres in Kolkata,” said Mr Agarwal.
Siliguri campus
The company plans another school in West Bengal with a campus in Siliguri. “We are on the look out for a school or land for this purpose,” he added.
The campus in Siliguri aims to cater to students from the eastern and north-eastern parts of the country, who form about 15 per cent of the student population in the Bangalore campus, said Mr Agarwal.
