Meet the Leadership Team

A team united by an unwavering commitment to educational excellence and holistic student development.

Shri. Kiran Patel — Chairman
Founder & Chairman
Shri. Ramesh Aspee
M.Com., LL.B. — Philanthropist & Educationist

Shri. Ramesh Aspee founded Aspee Nutan Academy over two decades ago with a singular vision: to create a world-class institution in Mumbai that would provide children from all backgrounds with access to premium CISCE education. A visionary businessman and dedicated philanthropist, he has invested not just financially but personally in the school's growth — from its first building to its current state-of-the-art campus. Under his chairmanship, ANA has grown from a modest primary school to a full K–12 institution offering both ICSE and the IB Career-related Programme.

"Every child deserves the best education — not as a privilege, but as a right. That belief built this school, and it guides every decision we make."
Mrs. Nuzhat Khan — Principal

Mrs. Priya Nair
M.Ed., B.Ed. — Former CISCE Resource Person

Mrs. Priya Nair brings over 22 years of distinguished service in education, including pivotal roles at leading CISCE schools across Mumbai and Pune. She joined ANA as Vice Principal in 2015 and was appointed Principal in 2019. Her tenure has seen the introduction of the IBCP programme, the complete modernization of ANA's curriculum, and the construction of the Innovation Lab. A National Best Teacher Award recipient (2021), she is known for her open-door policy and genuine connection with every student and parent in the school community.

"I believe the role of a school is not just to teach subjects but to build human beings — curious, compassionate, and confident individuals who are ready for the world."
Mr. Anil Suchak — President
Academic Director — IBCP
Dr. Suresh Kulkarni
Ph.D. in Education — IBO Certified Coordinator & Workshop Leader

Dr. Suresh Kulkarni joined ANA in 2020 to spearhead the establishment of the IB Career-related Programme — making ANA one of only a handful of schools in Mumbai to offer this globally recognized curriculum. A Ph.D. holder from Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS) and a certified IBO Workshop Leader, he has trained teachers across South Asia in IB pedagogy. Under his leadership, ANA's first IBCP cohort achieved a 100% certification rate, with graduates receiving university offers from the UK, Canada, and Europe.

"The IBCP is not just a curriculum. It is a mindset — one that empowers students to connect their passions to their professions and their education to the real world."
