VIBGYOR ACE is the brainchild of two leaders from very different worlds - school education and competitive exam mentoring - who came together to build something neither could build alone.
Across India, families juggling board exam pressure alongside separate coaching classes has long been the norm for students aiming at JEE, NEET and other competitive exams. VIBGYOR ACE was built to close that gap: a school network with a nationwide footprint joined forces with a coaching veteran of over four decades so that board preparation and entrance exam training could run on the same timetable, in the same building, under one coordinated plan.
Rustom Kerawalla founded VIBGYOR in 2004 and grew it into one of India's most trusted school networks, spanning campuses across multiple cities. His approach has always centred on pairing academic rigour with genuine care for every child's overall development.
Bringing ACE inside the VIBGYOR school day was a natural next step in that vision: giving students access to serious competitive exam preparation without asking families to manage a second commute, a second fee structure or a second set of expectations.
