Smitha Ganesh
I am thrilled to write this recommendation for Ananya having known her personally and professionally. I have the privilege of seeing Ananya grow as a Fellow in the Teach For India Fellowship and then to as a Manager, managing her own set of 20+ Fellows, and ensuring that 600 children in Chennai her an excellent education and she grows her Fellows as leaders. Having managed Ananya, her strength is her deep resilience and grit, her commitment to believe in her people and continuously learn. She is dedicated, is a strong planner, and facilitates and designs learning for her teams by building their capacity. Over the years I have seen her grow in her decision making ability, and leading teams. Having worked with her professionally, I also have the privilege to call her a friend. I have learnt what it means to keenly listen and hold compassion in the tough situations, and how one can always grow continuously. Ananya will be an asset to any team or organization she joins!

It was wonderful to work with Ananya. Planning, Investing stakeholders, persevering through challenging situations are Ananya’s strengths. Her pedagogical skills were excellent. Her focus on differentiated instructions and kinesthetic learning impacted her students’ outcomes immensely. She was able to establish trustworthy relationship with her students , school team and at the community level despite not knowing the local language which is a true testament to her people skills and perseverance.
