Think innovation belongs only to startups and tech giants? Not anymore. Telangana is showing that the true spark of innovation begins in its classrooms — where curiosity meets purpose. By nurturing creativity, compassion, and leadership, the state is shaping a new generation of thinkers and doers, setting an inspiring benchmark for education across India.
Building on this spirit of innovation, The Premia Academy, a leading international school in Hyderabad, has been recognized as one of India’s top institutions for Student Leadership & Skill Development in the Education World (EW) India School Rankings 2025-26. The academy secured an impressive #4 rank in India and #3 in both Telangana and Hyderabad, reaffirming its commitment to nurturing future-ready leaders.
The Education World India School Rankings — the country’s most extensive and credible school evaluation survey — assesses institutions across 14 parameters of educational excellence. Securing a top-five national spot reflects Premia’s forward-thinking approach that goes beyond academics to build character, confidence, and real-world competence.

At Premia, leadership is not taught through theory but lived through experience. Students are encouraged to lead with empathy, think critically, and act with purpose — whether through entrepreneurship programs, financial literacy modules, or community engagement projects. Leadership and life skills are seamlessly woven into every classroom experience, inspiring students to navigate challenges and make a meaningful impact.
“This national recognition is a powerful affirmation of our mission,” said Sinduri Reddy, Founder & Managing Director of The Premia Academy. “We envisioned Premia as a space that nurtures not just intellect but integrity and innovation. This award validates our belief that true education builds both great minds and compassionate hearts.”
Meanwhile, Trupti Rao, Principal of The Premia Academy, shared,“This achievement belongs to our students and educators who live our philosophy every day. By integrating leadership and life skills into our curriculum, we are helping students grow into empathetic, confident leaders prepared for tomorrow’s world.”
An achievement like this reminds us that education is more than grades — it’s about igniting curiosity, nurturing courage, and shaping compassionate leaders who can turn learning into lasting change.
