Late Dr. Stya Paul

Dr. Stya Paul, eminent industrialist, educationist, philanthropist and freedom fighter provided the foundation and inspiration for the emergence of the Apeejay Stya Group and the Apeejay education Society as trusted symbols of quality and excellence in the country's industrial and educational landscape.

A pioneering entrepreneur with a far-sighted vision of the future, Dr Stya Paul wa s leading architect of the country's emergence as a self-reliant industrial superpower. AS Chairman Emeritus, He guided the Apeejay Stya Group, a privately and closely-held leading Indian Industrial and investment House, to become one of the major corporate houses of the country, with several alliances, collaborations and significant presence in Europe, Middle East and East Asia.

Dr. Stya Paul, fondly called Sethji, recognised the great role that industry could play in providing quality education. Towards this objective, he decided ;to set up non-profit educational institutions across the country where scientific and carer-building knowledge could be provided along with inculcation of values and an appreciation of Indian culture, arts and heritage. Starting with a small school in Jalandhar in 1967, the 13 schools and 16 institutions of higher learning  established by him over the last 45 years under the aegis of the Apeejay Education Society have flowered to becomes symbols of excellence in ther various disciplines.
