Shomie Das: The Man Who Saw Tomorrow
by Naga Tummala
ABOUT THE BOOK
Two entrepreneurs setting out to establish a school with a difference come across a retired headmaster who has helmed some of India’s best schools. A chance encounter, and a relationship destined to deepen, lead to Oakridge International, a school whose primary objective is to impart a solid foundation while freeing the mind to explore beyond the constraints of curriculum.
The story of former Doon School headmaster Shomie Das and childhood friends turned business partners Naga Tummala and Raj Yarlagadda is a fascinating account of vision and enterprise, and the struggle that went into setting up the institution of their dream.
The Man Who Saw Tomorrow details Shomie Das’s ideas about how education should be an experience that children enjoy and not one that has been thrust upon them. What that entails is a deep acknowledgement and respect for the child as a unique individual.
