"Padatik taught me Kathak when I was seven. Twenty years later it taught my daughter to code. The same heart, two languages."
Anuradha Sen
Alumna, Class of 1998
"The free AI programme genuinely opened doors. I am now a junior engineer at a Bangalore start-up — the first in my family with a tech career."
