- Student Testimonial

From the Tenga Valley to Mumbai Boardrooms.

My professional trajectory is not linear—and that is my greatest strength. With a Master's in Sociology and extensive teaching experience at institutions like St. Xavier's and Sophia College, I understand the academic pressures of today.

But life taught me more than books could. As an Army wife for 12 years, traversing from Punjab to Arunachal Pradesh, I learned the true meaning of adaptability and community service. I've witnessed the resilience of military families and the quiet strength needed to navigate change.

Later, in the corporate world, I trained teams in Emotional Intelligence, helping professionals overcome psychological barriers. Today, I bring all these worlds together—academic, military, and corporate—to help youth navigate their own unique paths.
