Ishani is proud of their previous work as a teacher. They said that being responsible for the learning, wellbeing, safety, and the hopes and dreams of 100 boys and their parents was both rewarding and challenging.

Ishani cares deeply about people-first policies and has learned a lot about this at CPI . They are interested in exploring and learning about how power operates in policies and processes, especially in recruitment.
When they’re not working, Ishani values rest and napping. They also enjoy spending time with friends, sitting by the sea, and relaxing.
