"Today as I look back on my eight years at DAIS that taught me many academic, social, and cultural lessons, what I value the most is how we were taught to think independently, critically, and creatively. We have learnt how a historical event, a work of literature, or a scientific problem could be approached in more than just one way. The academic rigour and introduction to contemporary methods of research during my DAIS years helped me immensely when later I went to the US for Art School. It also instilled in me a deep love for sports and libraries! I am truly grateful to all the inspiring teachers and coaches who have motivated all of us to do our best and excel.

"DAIS has given me a strong foundation in my learning journey and has always instilled in me an inquiry mindset; these have helped me develop into the person that I am today. My time at DAIS encouraged me to explore new concepts, live new experiences, and make bold decisions. I continue to cherish the relationships I shared with my peers and my teachers at DAIS, which created a conducive atmosphere to assimilate knowledge in its full depth and breadth and value relations. My days at DAIS not only rooted me in my love for academic inquiry and conceptual understanding, but also pushed me to go beyond my comfort zone. All these have motivated me to build a career in the field of wildlife conservation.

"From day one, I felt completely at home at Dhirubhai Ambani International School whether it was with teachers or friends. My two years at the school defined the person I have become. From being a cricket captain to working on a peace conference, we learned as much outside the classroom as we did inside. The spirit of perseverance and hard work that we learned at DAIS has taken me a long way in my career. My DAIS years nurtured the understanding of being a global citizen with a deep appreciation of Indian values. This spirit also pushed me to blend the local and the global in my entrepreneurial life and start my current venture, Dr. Vaidya's - India's largest digital Ayurveda brand. I can safely say that my best friends, closest confidantes and mentors are still my peers and teachers from DAIS!
