About Me

Growing up as a neurodivergent person, I have always felt a deep connection with those who are pushed to the margins — those who are unseen, unheard, or expected to fit into boxes not built for them. As a writer who speaks and writes about mental health and invisibility, my work has always been about making the unseen visible and giving voice to experiences that are often silenced.

But my life is not without privilege. I am here today because of the teachers who saw me, who nurtured my creativity, who believed in my words before I could believe in myself. They created space for me to learn, explore, and grow into the person I am.

This is why I am raising funds for CEQUE, an organisation committed to empowering government school teachers. CEQUE works directly inside classrooms with teachers who are shaping the futures of children in some of the most remote, under-resourced communities. These teachers work every day through challenges that most of us cannot imagine, yet they continue to show up with hope, courage, and deep love for their students.

Teachers change lives.

They are at the heart of every child’s story, and yet they are the ones who are most overlooked, unsupported, and undervalued. When we support a teacher, we support hundreds of children. We create futures.

Your contribution can help:
Bring high-quality training and coaching to government teachers
Build joyful, engaging classrooms where learning comes alive
Ensure children in difficult geographies are not left behind
Multiply impact across the system through teacher leadership

Every rupee you give goes directly into strengthening real classrooms and real futures.
I hope you will stand with me in supporting CEQUE’s mission. Let’s ensure every child has a teacher who believes in them, just as mine believed in me.

RUN FOR TEACHERS

Each of us has a teacher who has touched our lives. They have been our cheerleaders and helped us through difficult times. Sometimes they have been the reason for the person we are today.

What if you had a chance to contribute to creating such a teacher for an underprivileged child? One who helps her stay in school, attend regularly and learn well? One who is her best hope for breaking the cycle of intergenerational poverty.

At CEQUE we educate children through investing in teachers. We partner with governments and provide long term support to government school teachers in Language and Math pedagogy through training, in-class coaching, learning material and student exhibitions. We help teachers teach better, so that children learn. To date, we have reached over 3,200 teachers and 150,000+ students in more than 2,000 schools across 8 districts in 3 states of Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh and Karnataka. On an average, each teacher will impact 400 students over his/her professional lifetime - that’s 400 futures transformed through single investment.

Join us in our mission to improve the quality of teachers - because every child deserves a great teacher !
