Message From The CEO
Cresta was created to redefine education as an entity that is separate from qualification. For us, education is a process that is as long as life itself, a necessity of life that is knowledge-driven, creative, task-oriented and above all empowering.
Our objective is to provide a learning experience that empowers you, inspiring you to actively solve problems as opposed to passively following instructions. With this in mind, the curriculum, infrastructure and environment of the college have been carefully designed to enhance each aspect of learning. As a result, every year, the campus produces a host of Crestites who are ethical leaders, dynamic entrepreneurs, competent professionals, enthusiastic teachers, powerful speakers, and above all, responsible humans.

Message From The Principal
We adopt a process-oriented approach to teaching, wherein the lecturer provides you with ample scope to explore opportunities in the real world. You gain a close understanding of practical problems and learn just as much from this process as you would from conventional pedagogy, if not more. Cresta also encloses this freedom to learn in a framework to provide discipline and structure that immerse you in the learning process.

Promoters
The Cresta Institute of Management, Science and Arts was established by the Shah Knowledge Foundation – an educational syndicate committed to promote academic and skill-based learning. The Foundation was established by seasoned entrepreneurs and education enthusiasts Shri Bipin Shah, Shri Hitesh Shah, Shri Mayur Shah and Shri Sambhav Shah. With the vision of building the best institute for learning in the country, the foundation is also a humble contribution to the society in which the family of entrepreneurs has flourished.
The Shah family began their entrepreneurial journey in 1947 with the Shah Cycle Mart, a modest store in the City Market of Mysuru. The family then ventured into two-wheeler vehicles through one of India’s first state-wide dealerships of Hero Honda, followed by that of Hero finance, Honda generators, Exide batteries, and Indian Oil. In 2008, they began Inspire Honda – a Honda car dealership initiated in Mysuru that has grown to have a presence in Hassan, Mandya, Coorg and other cities across Karnataka.
The Cresta School of Management, Science and Arts was established by the following promoters.
