Rohit Kumar, through his work and education, has come to believe that schools are places for an enriching socio-cultural dialogue that can empower or subvert its pupils, depending upon how the school is imagined, designed and brought into action. Rohit holds an M.A. in Education from Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai, and a Masters in Software Systems from the Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research, Mumbai, India. However, he thinks his most important learning comes from working with students and educators at The Akanksha Foundation, the American School of Bombay, and the Apni Shala Foundation. Before moving to social space, he worked with Tata Consultancy Services as a software engineer. Rohit currently works as the CEO at Apni Shala, where he leads Strategy, SEL Design, Fundraising and Organisational Development. He also consults with the SEED project (USA), co-facilitating diversity workshops for educators, leaders, and organisations in India and the USA. In the recent past, Rohit has published on themes such as organisational wellbeing, fundraising, SEL, and Mental Health on forums such as India Development Review (IDR), Samuhik Pahal (Wipro), ILSS-web, Teacher Plus, and Communique (a magazine for US-based Psychologists).
