Hyderabad,
India | February 05, 2026 : Meridian Schools Hyderabad has partnered with HOAG to
bring the HOAG Leadership Lab to its campus as a key leadership development
initiative for students.
As
part of this collaboration, five chapters of the Leadership Lab will be delivered
through two-day immersive programmes for each chapter. These immersive
programmes are conducted through the academic year, engaging over 1,200
students from Meridian’s Hyderabad campuses: Banjara Hills, Madhapur, Kukatpally
and Uppal, in a shared learning experience.

real-world challenges, simulations, and reflective practices to build
confidence, strategic thinking, resilience, ethical judgement, and purposeful
action.
