About Kiran

Morethanadirector.Abuilderofinstitutions.

Kiran Baskar is the Academic Director of Sree Jayam School in Vellore, Tamil Nadu. He brings an uncommon perspective to school leadership: a decade of experience spanning cloud engineering, data infrastructure, and enterprise technology, now channelled entirely into building one of the region's most forward-thinking schools.

He holds a Master's degree in Computer Science with specialisation in Cloud Computing from VIT Chennai, and spent five years as a Data Engineer at Knowledgelens, Bengaluru, working across AWS, Azure, and Informatica platforms. This technical background informs how Sree Jayam approaches curriculum design, digital learning, and institutional systems.

At heart, Kiran believes that every child deserves an education built on clarity, care, and ambition. His leadership at Sree Jayam reflects exactly that.
