Anupama Purohit Educator

Anupama’s journey as an educator has always been deeply intertwined with her love for stories. With over 20 years of experience, her career began in the classrooms of Delhi Public School, Ahmedabad, where she discovered the power of stories to inspire curiosity and connection. Whether teaching children or mentoring leaders, Anupama has always believed that stories shape who we are and the world we create. Her work with Janagraha and as a founding member of Shikshalokam allowed her to bring this philosophy into school leadership development. As a mentor at EduMentum and an advisor at Haddi Baddi, she continues to champion the transformative potential of education, particularly for children who need it most. Now, her focus is on the Missing Millions Movement, where she strives to ensure every child’s story is heard, honoured, and given a chance to flourish.
