Presented by Tamala Francis,
Founder & CEO at Francis & Co.
With eyes of fire and a powerful glowing face, Mrs. Wagh is a visionary educator, blending global thinking with local realities, fostering innovative and culturally sensitive learning environments. Since 2008 when she founded Gyan Sadhana Vidhyala, Mrs. Wagh has nurtured youth to become next gen leaders. Her school accepts children from forest-dwelling communities, most of whom are unable to pay school fees. Dedication shines through her unwavering support for the children, personally funding the school when necessary and tirelessly seeking donors to ensure that financial constraints do not hinder access to quality education. Her holistic approach creates a nurturing, inclusive, and forward-thinking educational ecosystem that empowers marginalized communities.
We are convinced, her work should spread.
