Meanwhile at Kandivali the demand continued to grow. In just a few years, the Ashok Nagar branch of Childrens Academy in Kandivali East was not enough to cope with the ever-increasing number of enquiries for admissions.

Thus, the third branch of Childrens Academy in Kandivali East, Thakur Complex, began its operations in 2001.
