His passion has always been teaching children, the outdoors and woodwork. He helped co–found the Bangalore Steiner school in 2010 and taught Games, Gardening, Swimming and woodwork till 2015 teaching grades 1-7. He currently has a company where he makes Furniture and Play equipment for Steiner schools. Why teaching? “Working with my hands has been very important throughout my life. However, I see we are living in a world where all the work has been done by workers and maids and many of us have lost the joy of making something with our own hand. I see many children with very little skills, children who are afraid to make something on their own and who have very little confidence. I enjoy the experience of bringing the value of the hands to children and empowering them with the skills to create their own useful things. These experiences will stay with them forever and will leave the children with a feeling that they can make whatever they want whenever they want.
