My Journey
From working as a nuclear scientist to pursuing a career with an MNC as techonology consultant, my professional path has always been shaped by curiosity and a desire to contribute meaningfully. Yet, the most rewarding chapter began when I started teaching as a volunteer in rural schools. Over the years, I have taught science and mathematics to children in remote villages, experiencing firsthand both the challenges of rural education and the spark of potential in every learner.
Why The Pathshala
This journey of teaching planted the seed for The Pathshala. The idea was simple: create a space where teachers and students can come together, share best practices, ask questions, and build knowledge as a community. Rural students often lack access to guidance, mentorship, and exposure. Through The Pathshala, I aspire to bridge this gap using technology and collaboration.
The Road Ahead
The Pathshala is still at its beginning. But every step matters — every class, every shared idea, every student inspired. My hope is that this platform grows into a movement where education is not limited by geography, resources, or privilege, but powered by community and collective wisdom
