Mr. Kannan Iyer's educational journey began at St. Mary's School in Rajkot, a city located in the state of Gujarat, India, around 1968. His academic tenure at this esteemed institution spanned several years, culminating in his successful completion of Standard XI, also known as the old Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination, where he topped the Gujarat State board.
As his academic aspirations continued to evolve, Mr. Iyer shifted to St. Xavier's College in Ahmedabad, a city renowned for its academic excellence, in June 1975. This marked a significant turning point in his educational journey, as he pursued a Pre-Science course at this prestigious institution.
However, Mr. Iyer's academic trajectory took an unexpected turn when he enrolled in the MBBS course. Despite making significant progress in his medical education, he ultimately chose to abandon his pursuit of a medical degree to follow his true passion.
