Pinnacle was founded in 2001 by first-generation entrepreneurs, Mrs. Y. Sridevi and Mr. Y. Madhu Sudhan, who invested everything to build an institution focused on producing skilled hospitality professionals. Their leadership was further strengthened with the addition of their son, Y.S. Sai Praneet, M.S. from Switzerland. Starting with just eight students in a 1,700 sq. ft. space, Pinnacle has grown into the Pinnacle Group of Colleges, spanning 70,000 sq. ft. across two campuses with state-of-the-art labs and modern classrooms.

Pinnacle Group of Colleges includes:

• Pinnacle Institute of Hotel Management and Catering Technology
• Pinnacle Institute of Culinary Arts
• Pinnacle Degree College
• Pinnacle Vocational Junior College
