Keynote Speakers
Nalika Braganza
Program Director, Training & Impact, Teach For India
Nalika Braganza graduated from Sophia College for Women in 2012 with a degree in English Literature. During her time in Mumbai, she was struck by the stark inequity that she saw in every corner of Mumbai. She decided to apply to the Teach For India Fellowship and taught a beautiful bunch of third and fourth-grade students in Kala Chowky Mumbai. The two years of the Fellowship Program gave her hope that change was possible, and she wanted to serve as many children as she could. She joined the Program Staff Team, where she coached and managed a group of Fellows for two years and then transitioned to lead the Program Team in the city for the next four years. Over her time at Teach for India, she has helped train and support close to 2000 teachers who have impacted 10,000 students in the city of Mumbai and beyond.
