Journey

How Udhbhavaha took shape

In our quest for answers about real education, culture, society, and life, Udhbhavaha took shape. Inspired by thinkers including Shri Ravindra Sharmaji, Shri Pawan Guptaji and Shri K.S Narayanacharya, Udhbhavaha emerged as a shared dream and an ongoing journey of understanding education and its connectedness to life.
