She began teaching in 1993 and has taught in both mainstream and alternative schools. She met Waldorf Education in 2004 and converted her mother’s existing 17-year-old kindergarten, Promise Centre to Waldorf by 2008. Her search for an alternative education system for her own children led her to co-found Bangalore Steiner School in 2010. In 2015, she helped co-found Advaya Shaale, a Waldorf inspired grade school in Bangalore. She conducts Early Childhood Education Waldorf training for both parents and potential teachers as well as black board drawing workshops for primary Waldorf schools in India.
