My passion to bring about change and make opportunities of education accessible to all children inspired me to quit my 10 year long corporate stint and join the Teach For India Fellowship in June 2010. I graduated in 2000 with a Bachelor of Engineering degree and started my career as a software professional with Infosys. I continued my career as a technologist with Cognizant and after a decade of corporate experience I quit in 2010, fuelled by her desire to bring about social change.I joined the Teach for India fellowship in June 2010. While teaching in the Municipal School classroom in the low income community of Malwani in Mumbai, I met women from the community, mothers of the children I taught, who shared their stories of relentless struggle and hardships with me. These women were confined within the community, shackled by the daily existential struggles both physical and social, yet they hoped and dreamed of a better life for their children. The women were in equipped to change the course of life due to their position in the household, and lack of economic means, knowledge and exposure. This inspired me to start Aftertaste, a social enterprise with the mission to empower the economically disadvantaged women from the urban slums in Mumbai, through dignified livelihood, knowledge and exposure.
