As a young achiever and reformist at heart, Tanuj has not only achieved his dreams of becoming a commercial airline pilot at an early age of 19 years but has been working with the same determination to change how one learns in our country. His passion for experiential education was founded during his school years. He experienced a complete divide in school studies and real life as he strongly felt that a school education wasn’t enough to equip him with skills which would help him in dealing with real life situations. He was often baffled by the stand alone approch of each subjects taught at school and their inability to answer his everyday questions and queries, hence forcing him to become an autonomous learner early in life. This lead to his vision and co-creation of this organisation to enable millions achieve their true potential through “learning from life for life”. He is working relentlessly to make “learning from life for life”a way of thinking in organisations, schools and our communities in the country at large. He is also a passionate soccer player an enthusiastic car racer.
