An educator turned edupreneur, Dr. Mishra started his career as a senior school teacher at St. Joseph’s Senior School, Pipariya (Madhya Pradesh). It was his childhood dream to become an entrepreneur. A management and education graduate of Barkatullah University (Bhopal) and holding a doctorate in Business Management, he taught for ten years in several top-ranked CBSE, CISCE, IB (Geneva), and Cambridge International (UK) affiliated schools in India and Nepal, including the Good Shepherd International School, Ooty (GSIS). During this invaluable decade in his career, especially during his three-year (2006-09) institutional leadership assignment in Nepal and central India, followed by a brief stint with Birla Edutech, where he facilitated the conceptualization of a few K-12 schools, he learned the ropes of establishing, managing, and administering an educational institution, including managing franchise operations and multi-city institutions.
LIFE EDUCARE, conceptualised in the year 2009, is the labor of love of a teacher who dared to dream big. And true to the saying that dreams do not let people sleep, he worked relentlessly to realise his vision of building a company which provides end-to-end school setup and management services to enable children across the country in India to access high-quality K-12 education. He coined the acronym ‘LIFE’ – Looking Into the Future of Education, with the objective of equipping India’s K-12 schools with the skills and practices needed to prepare children for the 21st century. Dr. Mishra is an educator who believes that after parents, a teacher is the biggest differentiator in a student’s life.
He is a rare combination of a teacher and a consultant who has taught and set up state board, CBSE, ICSE, CAIE, and IB board schools. His teaching degree has helped him understand the various educational pedagogies and has helped him grow as a teacher trainer. He has trained over 5,000 teachers in various parts of the country and in the Middle East.
LIFE EDUCARE and Dr. Mishra have set up over 50 schools in 18 states of India. He also has the unique credit of having visited over 550 out of 743 districts of India during his professional career. This has given him a lot of firsthand insight into Indian K-12 education.
