A trust for the building of institutions.

Founded in April 2026 in Chennai, INAE Educational Trust was established as a public charitable trust under Indian law by Dr. Naveen Prasad Loganathan and Dr. D. Priya Dharshini.

Broad objects, careful execution.

What the trust can do

The trust's objects, as set out in the registered deed, are broad - spanning education, health, and research. Its work, however, will be built one institution at a time.

Why it was created

The trust was established as a dedicated vessel for institution-building, so that what it builds is governed by its own purpose and its own standards.

The foundation for the INAE brand.

Beginning with INAE Preschool, the trust intends to grow into a family of institutions that carry the INAE name and a shared commitment to the quality of their work. The trust gives that ambition the right form: a durable, irrevocable structure designed to outlast its founders.
