In this conversation, she talks about her early teaching days, her approach to students, and why she believes that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of background. During the COVID-19 pandemic, when schools were closed and students were disconnected from classrooms, she took a bold step and began creating digital educational content under the name “Shinde Madam.” Her aim was simple yet powerful — to ensure that learning never stopped. She started teaching Mathematics and English through simple explanations, practical tricks, activities, and easy-to-understand methods, making even complex topics approachable.

An inspiring aspect of her journey is the support she received from her school, which actively encouraged teachers to create content and spread educational awareness beyond classroom boundaries.
