Bearys Passion For Calligraphy

The Bearys ancestry traces its root to Yemen. Yemini merchants sailed through the Arabian Sea and disembarked at Mangalore as early as before Hijri era to trade in spices. Over the years they settled here and perhaps passed on their penchant for Calligraphy. It is no wonder then that the Bearys family is passionate about calligraphy and has imbibed the traits of a calligrapher.

Bearys Group has held a special bond with Calligraphy right from its inception in 1981. The Group's capabilities, dedication and value system wholly and artfully reflect this ancient revered art. The group identifies itself and has build its reputation on seven core values i.e. Integrity, Mastery, Sustainability, Innovation, Collaboration, Commitment and Empowerment all of which is an integral part and the cornerstone of Calligraphy.

The Bearys Group has steadily built an impressive legacy in Education, Enterpreneurship and the Environment (Triple E) which forms the foundation of all its enterprises. From the shores of the Arabian Sea to the heart of India's bustling metropolis of Bangalore, the Bearys name is today synonymous with iconic sustainable developments and services, as well as state-of-the-art educational institutions from primary to collegiate level.

IIIAC is one among its many institutions and has been established to promote Calligraphy and impart Islamic Art and culture in the Indian subcontinent.
