Dream – Goal – Action – Patience – Success. That’s the simple formula of dream to success that requires commitment, consistency and hard toil to achieve. There’s one man whose dream of young days and endeavours over the years have brought him the least expected success. With several feathers in his cap today, he is an educationist, entrepreneur and philanthropist. We are taking about the chairman of Kings International Medical Academy and many other ventures, Dr David K Pillai.

Looking Back!        

One of the renowned educationists of the present day, Dr. David K Pillai has been an enthusiastic and inquisitive person, always curious to gain knowledge since his childhood. He was born on 17th February 1965 and has had a remarkable academic career. He completed BBA from Spicer Memorial College in 1991 and received a PhD in Administration soon after.  

During those days as he engaged himself with several social reform works, Dr. David K Pillai witnessed the struggles of rural areas as well as middle-class families. He realized how many students failed to fulfil their dreams and ambitions, primarily for high cost of education and financial limitations.     

Transformations Brought by Dr. David K Pillai

After extensive research, meetings and global tours, Dr. David K Pillai launched his several ventures – all primarily aiming to make education surprisingly affordable and accessible to aspiring students.

One of the his noteworthy institutes is the Kings International Medical Academy which is renowned for securing high pass percentages in FMGE results year after year.

Apart from these, Dr. David K Pillai has successfully reduced internship fees in Tamil Nadu for FMGs after extensive discussion with the honourable minister of health and family welfare of the state, Ma. Subramanian. He slashed a whopping fee of Rs. 3,54,000 to Rs. 29,400 only.

Dr. David K Pillai, being a passionate philanthropist, has singlehandedly provided free education to many students from rural India.
