Pallavi International School - Gandhipet

Pallavi International School Gandipet is the 2018 campus of the Pallavi Group of Schools, an Indian education chain founded 1994 in Bowenpally and now operating 14 campuses across the twin cities. The Gandipet site adds Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A Levels alongside the group's CBSE backbone.

Hema Madabushi, recognised at the Global School Leaders' Consortium Acadelite Awards 2026 and a graduate of IIM Ahmedabad's executive education in strategic leadership, heads the campus. Pallavi Educational Society manages the group. The campus sits on Gandipet 'X' Road in Moinabad mandal, west of the Gandipet reservoir.

Reviews are sharply split. Positives centre on teaching quality, faculty dedication, and infrastructure on the visible campus. Critics describe child-safety and bus-compliance concerns, washroom conditions, slow admissions handling, and the Gandipet branch's absence from certain national rankings lists. Across sources the ratings polarise more than at most Pallavi sister campuses.

Families who land here tend to talk warmly about the individual class teachers, who come across as patient and quick to settle a younger child, and about how much campus you get for a fee that sits well below the marquee international schools nearby. The friction parents return to is operational rather than academic. The same households that praise the classroom describe a school that struggles with the basics of running an event and keeping parents informed, and the front office draws repeated grumbles during admissions and everyday enquiries. The result is an unusually split picture for a single campus, with steady, contented accounts sitting alongside sharply worded ones.
