The Group
Sunbeam was founded in 1972 by Late. Dr. Amritlal Ishrat Madhok and Late. Mrs. Deesh Ishrat Madhok, who felt the need of a private educational institution to cater to the holistic educational needs of the students fraternity in Varanasi and thus was born Sunbeam. Sunbeam started its momentous journey in a small rented apartment. Armed with a vision plus boundless energy and gaining credibility by the day, giant strides were made and the young institution grew rapidly in enrolment, quality and community recognition and soon outgrew its place of birth and it became obvious that a new location was needed.

Her legacy lives on in the thriving Sunbeam institutions that continue to illuminate the path of knowledge.
