With a Computer Science Engineering degree, Diploma in Montessori and PG Diploma in Education Management, Ms. Saumya Radjindrin started her career in Academics as a Montessori educator drawing inspiration from her own child. Her experience of working with children across different boards and streams, including specially gifted children, led to the discovery and conviction that ‘every child is unique'.
