She then moved on to teach at Rashtriya Indian Military College for 6 months before moving on to her alma mater, Welham Girls' School. She continued to teach there for the next twenty years. Arundhati loves to experiment and bring multiple learning dimensions inside and outside her classroom and believes that knowledge explored and shared grows exponentially. You do not know what is around you? How has your life gone? Such questions should form the cornerstone of learning. She has been literally been a school going learner all her life; having taught in prestigious residential schools in India; has lived her life with children, and is a great peer for the teachers and the students.
