Stories from the Alumni Movement!

Shekar’s Fellowship in Bangalore taught him the power of resilience and compassion. When students appeared indifferent to his lessons, he recognized the challenges they faced outside school, and adapted his teaching to balance firmness with empathy. This approach deepened his connection with them, turning frustration into understanding.

His compassion extended to dealing with difficult home environments, especially with parents battling issues like alcoholism. Choosing empathy over frustration, Shekar built trust, ensuring his students felt supported both academically and emotionally. Today, he leads Shifting Orbits Foundation, an organization dedicated to creating safe spaces for youth, exemplifying his belief in the enduring impact of leading with love.
