LEAD College of Management, a state-of-the-art, standalone MBA institute, approved by AICTE and affiliated with the University of Calicut was established in 2011. LEAD is an acronym derived from ‘Leadership & Entrepreneurship Academy, Dhoni’. LEAD envisions creating an academic environment where the highest standards of academics and professionalism are met and the expectations of all stakeholders are consciously addressed.

LEAD College of Management, Dhoni Palakkad is a brainchild of Dr. Thomas George, a professional life-skill trainer for various Engineering & MBA students in and around Kerala for years. Dr. Thomas’ training of students at various levels in a culture obsessed with measuring talent and ability opened his sense of creating an institution that gives importance to the inspiration that might lead to entrepreneurship, social commitment, and values. According to him, inspiration awakens new possibilities by allowing one to transcend ordinary experiences and limitations. Inspiration propels a person from apathy to possibility and transforms the way one perceives his own capabilities. The idea of starting a business school in a three-tier city of Kerala got conceived, germinated, nourished, and became a reality in 2011.
