About Us
MEET OUR TEAM
Span Trust is till date known for its various free services to the community, like the marriage information service, employment exchange, medical aid, and scholarships for deserving students.
In 2012, Masood Sir took the courageous initiative to start the Span International Academy, an IGCSE school that also teaches values from the Quran. It has an integrated curriculum that teaches Quran, Arabic and Islamic Studies, etc.
The efforts put in by staff and the co-founders of the school, Ms. Farah Shaikh & Ms. Sameera Shaikh, have made it possible that the dream envisioned has turned into a reality.
Masood Sir has laid the foundation for the future leaders of Span, which they can emulate as the most focused and professional leaders any school can have. For this, every student or staff member will always remain indebted to him.
Handing over the baton of leadership to the new Chairman, Mr. Suhail Ansari, was a well-contemplated decision that has started to put the Span SIA on the path to progress at a propelling speed.
Meet Our Founder
Our founder Chairman, Ross Masood Shaikh, is a candle in the dark for many lives.
Born in a family of educators and government officials, Masood Sir witnessed a lot of mentorship roles his parents, uncle, and grandparents played for close relatives and the community at large.
He grew up with a desire to be a businessman who can support hardworking youth and generate employment for the downtrodden in the society.
Gaining a B.E. (Mech) degree from the famed Trichi College in Tamil Nadu set his engineering career at pace. His skills reached new heights with every new project he executed at the prestigious and progressive Thermax Boilers Ltd. company in Pune.
He established his own manufacturing company, Ross Boilers Ltd.
Soon, the urge to give back to society made him take early retirement from his own business, and he started a Trust named Span Welfare Charitable Trust in the 1970’s along with his cousins & friends.
