The Founder :
Dr. Jaishree Sethi
Here is a short story about a media professional who one fine day decided to quit her corporate job and pick up something unconventional, creative and more satisfying. She met some characters, saw a few signs and read hidden messages. Her heart jumped over the idea of setting up an educational venture where learning was not forced and monotonous. Sixteen years of experience in Theatre, Radio and Television gave her the strength and helped her master the craft of storytelling. This peerless experience is the force behind the zeal and passion with which she started to tread the road whose destination was “Story Ghar.”
