- testimonials
“Over 20 years of excellence
We established the Jain Group in 1990 with 32 students. We got acquainted with Sodexo in 2000, and since then, Sodexo has been a formidable partner in this journey. Sodexo understands the value we provide to our students. This is why the Sodexo team puts great effort into meal preparation for our students. I have always received great reviews about their food and service whenever I have checked with my student and teaching fraternities. Great performance is one thing, but great performance consistently over years is a mark of stellar servicing. I admire and appreciate Sodexo for this unique trait.
Sodexo partners us with purpose. In our sporting and academic success, Sodexo is a great contributor.”
Dr.Chenraj Roychand, Chairman, Jain Group of Institutions
“Food is an integral part of our lives and an indicator of our culture. To engage with a cuisine is getting to know the history of a culture and how it has evolved. Sodexo aligns with this education vision and in the association of 20 years, it has endeavoured to bring nutrition, education, experience & good health to our students & staff. It is heat-warming to see Sodexo create wonderful experiential opportunities for students & help them learn about Indian & other international healthy food choices.”
