Dr. Sharma considers her daughter Urvashi (Associate Vice President – Edelman, India Team), the pillar of her strength who has been with her through thick and thin and with whom she has sailed not only the beautiful ocean in Maldives but also the big ocean of life. Dr. Sharma considers her daughter’s love and sacrifice an integral part that helped her pursue her professional goals and making her the professional she is today. Spending time with her, be it in the mountains or the beaches is something Dr. Sharma looks forward to each year. 

Dr. Sharma’s philosophy of teaching is that children are like saplings… whether they turn into blooming trees or withered twigs depends on teachers. Winning scholars’ minds for learning cannot happen until their hearts are won with sincere love and compassion. To that effect, Dr. Sharma believes in nurturing her saplings (scholars) with love first and learning next and is very proud to be serving them.
