Who we are

Built for lastinginstitutional progress

Established in 1998 by Dr. Parag Diwan, Paradigm Consultants brings innovative, grounded solutions to the higher education sector. We have advised a wide range of institutions in India and internationally on how to establish, grow and renew their academic mission.

An early engagement was the feasibility study for the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies (UPES). Since then, our work has expanded across institution building, turnarounds, strategic roadmaps, programme portfolios and the systems that help institutions perform with confidence.

Our approach is execution-led. We build long-term relationships, work hands-on with institutional teams and turn recommendations into documented, actionable and sustainable solutions.
