An Iconic Leader in Action
Perhaps, we would not have written about Dr. Sheetal Mann, if she had not taught a few students from her neighborhood whose parents could not afford private tuitions. Dr. Mann wanted to do research after completing her Masters in Biotechnology. "It was during this time that my soul advocated me to work in the field of education and thereafter, things took a different turn and I entered into the school teaching," recounts Dr. Mann. Soon, she realized her passion for teaching, largely due to the opportunity it gave her to interact with young learners.
