The journey from rural roots to transforming education across India
DEENA EduCorp was born from a profound realization: rural India possesses untapped potential that traditional education systems have failed to nurture. Our founder, Deena Marpu, witnessed firsthand the stark divide between urban privilege and rural aspiration.
In 2008, while working with rural communities in Andhra Pradesh, Deena saw children with brilliant minds constrained by inadequate infrastructure, outdated pedagogy, and a system that valued rote memorization over critical thinking.

This sparked a question that would reshape thousands of lives: What if we could build schools that honor rural roots while preparing students for global futures?
Phoenix Global Schools was founded on the principle of the phoenix bird—rising from the ashes, reinventing, and soaring higher. The first campus in Rajahmundry became a living laboratory for this vision, proving that world-class education could thrive in Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities.
We reject the false choice between preserving cultural identity and embracing global competence. Our model demonstrates that students can:
Every Phoenix school is designed to help students and communities Rise from their circumstances, Rebuild their educational identity, and Reinvent their future—all while maintaining dignity and purpose.
