My commitment to growth: The IIMB learning journey
Being an educator isn't just about teaching children. To nurture young, curious minds effectively, I believe in being a lifelong student myself. My time at IIMB NSRCEL helped me bridge the gap between being a passionate teacher and building an impactful, sustainable educational community.

About this collection
The Goldman Sachs 10,000 Women program at IIMB wasn't about abstract theory. It forced me to look at the 'why' behind Knowledge Origin. We broke down our value proposition—nurturing critical thinkers through play—and turned it into a clear, actionable growth plan that defines how I run my classrooms, train my staff, and interact with parents today.
Turning Passion into Purpose
Transitioning from an educator to an entrepreneur is a complex shift. While I have always been confident in the 'I play, I learn' methodology, translating that into a sustainable organization requires a different set of skills. My participation in the GS10k program at IIMB NSRCEL was a pivotal moment in that journey.
What I Gained
The program provided more than just business strategy; it offered a mirror. Through peer learning and mentorship, I had to articulate my value proposition for Knowledge Origin to a room of accomplished entrepreneurs. This forced me to strip away the fluff and focus on what actually matters:
- Defining the Methodology: We solidified how our 'learning through play' approach functions as a scalable model, not just a casual philosophy.
- Operational Clarity: Learning to look at my classrooms, student-teacher ratios, and workshop structures through an operational lens helped me become a more effective administrator.
- Community Support: Being part of a cohort of 50 driven women entrepreneurs provided a support network that continues to shape my approach to leadership.
Why This Matters for You
Whether you are a parent looking for a preschool or an educator joining my workshops, this certification is proof of my commitment. It means that when you engage with Knowledge Origin, you are not just getting a 'play school' or a 'training session.' You are getting a system designed with professional rigor, clear educational goals, and a founder who is deeply invested in continuous improvement. I take the business of early childhood education seriously so that your child’s experience can remain light, joyful, and deeply effective.
Knowledge Origin
I’m a parent first, which is how Knowledge Origin started. I wanted to build a space where learning isn't just about worksheets, but about touching, building, and exploring. My journey at IIMB has given me the tools to keep that space authentic, sustainable, and truly focused on the children.
