Three decades of Roots replete with milestones

From a junior college, it has grown into a sought-after brand

A young engineer from the CBIT with passion for entrepreneurship and a desire to give back to the society launched his institution when his friends opted for greener pastures abroad. Three decades later, the institution — Roots Collegium — has earned a name for itself in the niche areas of education in the city and is making waves, offering its students numerous opportunities in the emerging areas. “When Hyderabad had fewer private institutions of quality in the higher education sector, it was my desire to give quality education. Thus, started this journey,” recalls B.P. Padala, chairman, Roots Collegium. What started as a junior college has grown into a sought-after brand with four campuses under its wing offering 23 innovative courses in Business Administration, Commerce, Film Making, Mass Communication and Hotel Management apart from some conventional courses.
