Aprajita co-founded Ukti, the first Waldorf school in North India, as a passion project. With her vision and guidance, Ukti grew into a place where teachers taught from inspiration and children learned with joy and vigor. Inspired by the work, she quit her career as an economist to teach middle-schoolers through the COVID-19 pandemic–a powerful, transformative experience. Today, she teaches highschoolers at San Francisco Waldorf School and enjoys learning from the younger generation. Her conviction in the human potential to create a life of purpose drives her to grow new capacities in herself and inspire others to do the same.
