Saurabh Taneja


Saurabh graduated from IIT Delhi, and intended to move towards a career in the corporate sector. However due to a small stint as a volunteer, Saurabh discovered his passion for making a difference.

In 2009, Saurabh became a fellow with Teach For India. During his fellowship, he taught in a municipal school in Mumbai where he found the disparity in the opportunities available for children coming from low-income communities and from wealthy neighborhoods was starkly prevalent. Saurabh was struck by the thought of opening his own school.

It was then that an opportunity to start a secondary school opened up in Pune. Saurabh led the first Akanksha Secondary school in Pune in partnership with the Pune Municipal Corporation and The Thermax Foundation. During his time as the School Leader, he took three batches of students through the SSC exams with a 100% pass rate.

Saurabh is a humble and a deeply passionate leader with a vision to lead Akanksha into its next phase of growth.

Fatema has matured and developed as an individual. Her school has always provided her with many opportunities in studies and extracurricular activities and provided her with an opportunity to solve the problems of children of her age.

“The unique feature of all Akanksha schools is that they give utmost importance to values like integrity, honesty, respect”, says Fatema. Akanksha has always been like a family to her and the values that she has learnt, will remain with her forever.

Tania Misra
From The Heart🧡



Looking at Tania's work, you would assume she has been a potter her whole life. The skillful mastery she exhibits - in particular, with her handcrafted flowers - is just incredible. However, before dedicating herself to ceramics, Tania worked as an Architect and Urban Designer. For many years, she designed townships as well as slum redevelopment projects around the world. After her decision to pursue her passion for ceramics, Tania began her training at NAFA studying under the esteemed Singaporean master potter, Lim Kim Hui.

In 2011, she traveled to Japan to study the intricate traditional art of flower making at the Tokyo Deco Clay Academy before going to France to study casting under renowned ceramicist Sasha Wardell. With this knowledge and exposure, Tania then opened her own studio in 2015.


Tania's unique background has helped her combine her techniques and design sensibilities to seamlessly intertwine both East and West to create designs that appeal to all walks of life. As a teacher, Tania encourages her students to follow their own path, to develop their own unique personal aesthetic and to express themselves through each piece they create. Padme Hum Studio and the unique work it produces is a testament to what can be achieved when you follow your passion and work from the heart.
