Ireu Group is led by founders who have built at the world's most demanding institutions — and chose to bring that standard to Indian education, real estate, finance, and technology.
A serial entrepreneur who started his first technology company in 1996, when India had only twenty-five IT firms in the country. He spent two decades as Vice President across Barclays, JP Morgan, UBS, Deutsche Bank, ANZ, and Citibank — leading teams across investment banking, technology, and international real estate.
A certified Art of Living teacher, senior Java architect, and the founding philosophical voice of the Group. Thejasvi is also the academic architect of Ireu's School for Finance — with senior roles at 7 of the world's top 10 investment banks and 50+ global finance certifications.
"We do not build for the next quarter. We build for the next quarter-century."— Thejasvi D.S., Founder & Group CEO
The backbone of Ireu Group — leading strategic management, operations, partnerships, and the day-to-day running of the Group across all six verticals. Nearly two decades across the Kirloskar Group and the Reliance Group.
Executive sponsor of Ireu's Women Founders Initiative — ensuring women lead, build, and operate at every level of the Group. Brings strong technology foundations and complementary technical depth to the school's curriculum design, mentoring architecture, and the technology-industry partnership network.
A senior leadership bench from global engineering leadership, AI-for-education strategy, financial leadership at international banks, and India's MSME and venture ecosystem.
IISc Bangalore faculty, IIT-affiliated incubation network, and 50+ advisory members — former Chief Secretaries, Vice Chancellors, and senior practitioners across all six verticals.
Tight, professional units headquartered at Manyata Tech Park campus, with field presence across Bengaluru, Mysuru, and the cities we are expanding into. Every team reports to a founding leader — no layers, no bureaucracy.
"I have spent twenty years inside global investment banks watching how companies are built — and how they decay. The ones that endure are not the ones with the best products or the largest balance sheets. They are the ones that refuse to compromise on the small things, decade after decade, until the small things become the brand.— Thejasvi D.S., Founder & Group CEO, Ireu Group
India does not need more job seekers. She needs more institutions of consequence. We intend to be one of them."
