Founder's Message
I extend a warm welcome to Howell's International School, a distinguished institution driven by a profound purpose.
Before delving into the school's mission, allow me to share my professional journey. I earned a Master's in Pharmacy from Hamdard University, New Delhi, in 2004, securing admission through the General Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) and receiving a UGC Scholarship by the grace of the Almighty.
With 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, my career began at Dabur Research Foundation as a Research Scientist in the Delhi/NCR region. I later joined Orchid Healthcare in Chennai, focusing on European and US markets for 1.5 years. Following that, I moved to Mumbai to work with Sandoz Pharma as a Senior Research Scientist, managing projects across Canada, Hong Kong, Europe, and the US. One of my key accomplishments was the successful completion of a critical project in Hong Kong in 2010.
A brief stint at Torrent Research Foundation in Ahmedabad for the European and Australian markets led to my long-standing 13-year tenure at Alkem Laboratories Limited, where I currently serve as General Manager, leading large teams across Europe, Australia, and other key regions.
A pivotal realization struck during a technical assignment in Australia—skills often supersede knowledge. Engaging with professionals around the globe helped me develop essential soft skills, including emotional intelligence, strategic planning, project and audit management, and performance management.
Fueled by this enlightenment, the vision for Howell’s International School took shape. Our goal is to impart not only knowledge but also vital skills and analytical techniques, fostering a deeper understanding of subjects among students. We are committed to nurturing individuals who grow not only personally and professionally but also contribute meaningfully to society and our nation.
Thank you for joining us on this transformative journey.
