Meet Our Founders
Dr. Selva Pankaj and Tharshiny Pankaj
Dr. Selva Pankaj is an accomplished educator, researcher specialising in the knowing vs. doing gap, and a visionary educational leader. Alongside his life and business partner, Tharshiny Pankaj, he co-founded Regent in 2000. The journey began with a simple offering of private tuition at £20 an hour.
Both Selva and Tharshiny Pankaj spent their early years in Sri Lanka but were compelled to relocate to the UK due to civil war, arriving at the ages of 13 and 19, respectively. Selva pursued chartered accountancy, and after qualifying, he held senior positions in prestigious financial and investment institutions, including Fortress Investment Group, Schroders, Prudential Financial Inc., and Grosvenor. Tharshiny, after earning a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science from Brunel University, began her career teaching ICT & Computing at a sixth form college.
Today, the Pankajs are the joint CEOs of a global enterprise headquartered in London, Dubai, and New York. Regent Global operates across education, impactful investment, and economic development, with a vision to become a British unicorn by 2030.
Selva and Tharshiny are passionate advocates of lifelong learning and firmly believe that the true outcome of education is character. They work tirelessly to inspire and instil this ethos in all their endeavours.
