Bhavna Vohra Sharma- The Education Expert

 

               





Bhavna was a teenager when she realised that her education goals revolved around what her friends were doing, who in turn were influenced by what their peers were interested in. There seemed to be no organised system to guide students. It was all largely through word of mouth, varied opinions of friends and family members and random searches on the internet. None of these had the qualifications or ability to assess a student's aptitude and steer them towards a career choice which was in sync with their skills and interests. When Bhavna quit her full-time corporate job to focus on motherhood, she started thinking about this huge gap which still existed. It was then that she realised she wanted to make an impact in this field. 

Bhavna's biggest challenge was and continues to be, bringing parents and their children on the same plane. Very often a parent's ambitions for their child are not aligned with the child's aptitude and interests. Bhavna works exhaustively to ensure that no child under her tutelage is pushed into a subject with little or no understanding of where their interest really lies. This requires a lot of tact and diplomacy while simultaneously standing firm in the ideals she believes in- a child should be given an opportunity to make informed decisions about his or her education/career plans. 

Apart from this were the challenges in setting up a new venture. It helped that Bhavna was already involved in working with underprivileged children and young adults to help them bridge the gap between academics and employment. The pandemic slowed things down but Bhavna is persevering with providing consultations through digital means.

Bhavna recalls working with a student who was very rigid about his course preference and wanted to pursue psychology honours followed by a master's in psychology. After a brief meeting, Bhavna was able to gauge that the inclination towards Psychology was not driven by interest but rather motivated by the success of an older cousin who was a leading Psychologist. After, working with the student and with the help of various psychometric assessment, he made an informed decision to pursue English Honours guided by his passion for literature. Today, that student is just not performing well in his graduation but is also immensely enjoying the subjects. Making a positive impact on a student's life is what makes this profession fulfilling for her. 

Bhavna enjoys reading and keeping herself abreast with latest trends in the education sector. She loves travelling with her family and making memories. 

Bhavna also assists parents in navigating the minefield of nursery admissions in Delhi and NCR. She provides them with comprehensive information about deadlines, documents required and everything else related to the arena of nursery admissions.

Ankita Gupta started Mamma’s Kitchen to provide healthy and tasty baked goods to people across all ages. Being a big foodie, she’s always had an interest in cooking and baking. In pre Covid times, Ankita loved hosting parties and get-togethers and was used to cooking and baking desserts for house parties which sometimes went up to 30-40 people. Experimenting with food is her forte. She would pick a new recipe every time and tweak it, replacing the unhealthy ingredients with healthy ones. Needless to say, her guests loved her efforts and the food. When Ankita was trying to conceive, she discovered she had PCOS which was hindering the process. It was then that she switched completely from junk food to healthy cooking alternatives.

This is where her healthy baking journey began. Ankita s

                     Anu had always been inclined towards sketching, drawing and painting since her childhood while her mother was inclined towards clothes and fashion. So, it was no surprise when Anu ended up taking fashion design as a subject in 11 th grade. Anu always had a lot of questions in her mind. What was she here? What was the purpose of her life? What could she do which would be different from the norm? She had a deep desire to prove something to herself. After completing her graduation, Anu took admission in Pearl Academy of Fashion for a one-year postgraduate course in Fashion Merchandising. Alongside this she started her own workshop at Shahpur Jat. Anu handled everything; from finding the place for the workshop to setting up a team of tailors, to buying machines and raw materials.

Chitwan Mohan and Cuddles_by_ChitwanMohan

                      From the time she completed her fashion course at Parsons, Chitwan knew that designer clothing was the line she wanted to get into. She started with womenswear in 2011 and then ventured into menswear in 2016. Whenever Chitwan visited the fabric markets for men’s fabrics, she would find herself staring at the cute kids’ fabrics and would wish that she could do something in that line. She would pick up fabrics for her son’s nightwear and shirts and they turned out really well; every time he wore them, her family would encourage her to consider venturing into this as a side business and gauge the response. Chitwan began small in 2020 and then there was no looking back. This isn’t a side business anymore. Chitwan is extremely passionate about it and doing kids' wear in particular makes her extremely happy. Moreover, she has discovered a staunch support system in the form of her mommy clients. It helps that Chitwan considers entrepreneurship to be in her blood.
