Stories from the Alumni Movement!

Shashank’s Fellowship experience taught him the importance of following his convictions, even when it meant standing alone. During a cohort program, he faced disagreements with his team and partners about project design and implementation. Trusting his insights, he moved forward with decisions that ultimately benefited the participants, reinforcing his confidence in his leadership.

In another instance, Shashank was inspired by a former student, who, despite losing her parents, fought to continue her education rather than marry young. Her determination affirmed his belief in education as a transformative force. Now, Shashank works internationally to codify school models, helping shape impactful programs for students worldwide. His journey reflects his commitment to supporting students and educators in overcoming societal barriers to education.
