Founders

Like G. D. Goenka Public School, Vasant Kunj, New Delhi, founded in 1994, GDGWS owes its existence to the dynamic vision of Delhi entrepreneur Chairman, Mr. A.K. Goenka, ably assisted by Vice Chairperson, Mrs Renu Goenka whose aesthetic taste imparts a special flair to both institutions. The Schools are so named to commemorate the memory of Mrs Gayatri Devi Goenka, mother of the Founder.
