A medium shot of a man with tan skin and dark, salt-and-pepper hair pulled back, featuring a short beard and mustache.

What does it take for a child to truly thrive? Ashish, a Teach For India alumnus and co-founder of Shiksharth Trust, reflects on how children growing up in adversity experience the world and what it means to create environments where they feel safe, loved, and able to learn. Drawing from his experience teaching in a municipal school and working with children affected by conflict, poverty, and crisis, Ashish shares a powerful perspective on Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) and their role in shaping individuals who can contribute meaningfully to society.
