The role Paathshala Education has played in my career in terms of professional development has been of immense gravity. Being an undergraduate in Biotechnology, as part of the team, I was allowed to do what I did best, impart knowledge. During the initial days, my supervisors were extremely helpful and efficiently guided me through the training period, upon completion of which, I was given the leniency to navigate through my own day to day tasks. During the delivery of subject matter, the team was extremely welcoming towards my own style of delivery

Apart from the amazing work that I had the opportunity to do, this position allowed me to polish my written and verbal communication skills in the process of having to deliver knowledge while writing and recording voice-overs simultaneously. These skills have been indispensable in both academics and the professional world, since then. At the same time, the motivation to efficiently elaborate on the various topics of my subject helped me stay updated regarding the subject matter and pushed me to do a substantial amount of additional reading. Thus, the responsibilities delegated to me were of utmost importance in boosting my confidence to overcome challenges, one at a time

By providing this small insight on what it was like to work at Paathshala Education, I convey my gratitude and warmest regards to the team responsible for making the duration of my work so memorable
