Shriya Shankar, Sitara Akka: Off The Ground
“Over these 18 months (of the Incubation), I've developed a strong core of conviction. Much of my confidence came from gaining a deeper understanding of the education space and the support from the Circle team and my cohort, which has strengthened my self-belief”.
With Sitara Akka, Shriya is working to ensure that every high school student in Karnataka can access the support system that they deserve to ensure they can chase their dreams.
In our second release of Off The Ground, we hope you can see Shriya for the passionate educator she is and her contribution to making education accessible to every child in Karnataka through Sitara Akka.
In this series, we follow the journeys of 5 Circle Entrepreneurs who have set out to reinvent what education in India can look like for its most disadvantaged students.
