The hearts behind the work.
Every child's journey at Astitav is guided by a small, dedicated team of educators, therapists, and support staff who bring expertise, patience, and genuine care to every session.
Every child who walks through our doors has something extraordinary to offer. Our job is to help them find it.
Monica Dinesh founded Astitav ACE in 2015 with a single vision: a world where every child, regardless of ability, is seen, valued, and empowered to reach their full potential. What began as a small intervention centre has grown into a comprehensive special-needs school, therapy centre, and vocational training space serving families across Delhi NCR.
Under her leadership, Astitav has helped over 200 children, placed 75% of Bridge to Brilliance students in mainstream schools, and created a model for inclusive education that other institutions now look to for guidance.
The core team driving Astitav forward.
Small in number, vast in experience. Our leadership team has been building Astitav together since the beginning.
