Gadiraju Sunanda:A Journey from Corporate Professional to Inspirational Entrepreneur and Guinness Record Holder
Meet Gadiraju Sunanda, a dynamic entrepreneur hailing from Puttur, Andhra Pradesh, and currently thriving in Hyderabad with her family. Sunanda's journey is a remarkable tale of resilience, innovation, and the pursuit of passion.
Starting her career as a Background Screening Analyst in Bangalore, Sunanda navigated through diverse roles, including a notable stint at ICICI Bank's Credit Card division. However, her trajectory took a turn when she decided to take a career break after her wedding, facing the challenges of minimal family support.
Amid the COVID-19 lockdown, an unexpected opportunity arose in the form of an online preschool academy. Despite initial hesitations due to her lack of experience in the field, Sunanda discovered her natural ability to connect with parents and students, excelling in providing advice and ensuring a positive learning experience. Rising through the ranks, she gained confidence, eventually transitioning to a role as an academic counselor and senior advisor at an online Ed-Tech platform.
Observing a gap in the quality of education, particularly in subjects like Rubik's Cube, Sunanda decided to take matters into her own hands. Quitting both her jobs, she started teaching Rubik's Cube classes, emphasizing a methodology centered on student understanding. Thus began her entrepreneurial journey.
In just a year, Sunanda successfully taught over 100 students worldwide, expanding her offerings to include programs in Vedic maths, Abacus, and more. Leveraging her strengths in mathematics and analytical skills, she innovatively crafted her curriculum, conducted global competitions, and garnered widespread praise from parents for her teaching approach.
Branding her classes under the name 'Sunanda's Classes,' she recently received the prestigious "Aspiring After School Activity Entrepreneur" award. Her passion for art led her to break boundaries and set a Guinness record in Crochet, proving that following one's interests and being innovative can lead to extraordinary achievements.
Sunanda's journey stands as a testament to the power of passion, innovation, and determination. Her story inspires others to pursue their interests and, in doing so, achieve goals that may have seemed beyond reach. As she continues to evolve and expand her educational offerings, Sunanda remains a beacon of inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and educators alike.
