Her travels across India only confirmed this divide. It was then, as a teenager, Prerna decided to ensure access to quality education for children residing in the most remote regions of her homeland- India.
Despite geographical divides, Prerna's unwavering desire to support education remained steadfast. After graduating from New York Univers she moved to Singapore. There, she set out to modernise and elevate early education, founding her first preschool, Little Paddington.

The outcome was remarkable; Little Paddington quickly became a leading preschool in the country, expanding to include seven preschools nationwide.
While Prerna's preschools were a huge success, she yearned for a more significant global impact, reaching millions of children worldwide.
