MADE IN THE BY SIDDATWORK

Dr. Priyanshi Verma

Assistant professor, Anaesthsiology, Mahatma Gandhi Hospital, Jaipur

Hopetown have me the confidence to be the best version of myself. It taught me discipline and made me mentally independent. I learned to be more confident in life and think for myself. I honestly owe what I am today to my family and to this school. The best part about this school is it teaches you to fly high but also keeps you grounded to your roots and your culture. I truly had the best time of my life here.

Anmol Ojha

Technical Product Manager - Airtel Africa

Hopetown Girls’ School’s ICSE curriculum, supported by exceptional faculty and state-of-the-art facilities, formed the bedrock of my growth.

The broad ICSE program offered electives like Hindustani Music, Classical Dance, Physical Education, Computers and post 10th grade, stream options like Commerce, Humanities, or Science – I chose Science, honing analytical skills essential for my product management career. Faculty went beyond their schedules, delivering personalized support through practical, interactive sessions that bridged theory to real-world application and sparked inquiry.

Well-equipped infrastructure – from sports fields and music rooms to labs and arts studios – enabled seamless exploration of talents alongside academics, fostering a well-rounded intellectual and multi-talented personality. As a student, each lesson comes handy when we are on this path of life as an adult. I am grateful to have the experience which is a driver of my self- onfidence.

Shravani Nandani

HR Associate at PwC

When I entered Hopetown Girls’ School in Grade 5, I was a quiet, unsure child. What I found instead was a home away from home.

The teachers guided me with care and patience, becoming mentors and lifelong role models. My friends and batchmates were my greatest strength, and the bonds we formed remain unbreakable.

Hopetown’s balanced curriculum encouraged academics alongside sports, arts, and self-discovery, giving me the confidence to find my own voice. The safe campus, excellent facilities, and our beloved Round About remain some of my fondest memories.

Hopetown transformed me into a confident young woman—someone unafraid to speak up.
Today, as an HR Associate at PwC pursuing my MBA from NMIMS, I carry Hopetown as my foundation and my second home.

Forever a proud Hopetavian,
Batch of 2022

Swar Vohra

Currently Student at NIFT, working as social media intern at WAREHOUSE BY MUDITA

The two and a half years I spent at Hopetown till Grade 10 were truly defining years of my life. While I may not have stayed till the very end, my time at HTGS played a pivotal role in shaping my interests, confidence, and sense of self, especially my inclination towards art and design.

Being at Hopetown allowed me to grow in more ways than one. I worked on my skills as an artist, learnt to think independently, and gradually grew into my own person. Somewhere along the way, I also realised, with equal parts honesty and relief, that biology was not quite my calling, and that in itself was an important lesson in understanding myself and my strengths.

The library became one of my favourite spaces on campus. It allowed me to live in countless worlds through books, while quietly preparing me for the real one outside its walls. It was also here that I discovered my love for writing, something that has stayed with me and continues to shape how I observe, express, and create.

It is as a Hopetavian that I became more confident in who I was and what I wanted to do in the future. Today, as a student at NIFT and while sitting in the office of Warehouse by Mudita as a Social Media Intern, I can say with pride that had Hopetown not been such an integral chapter of my life, I may not have been writing this at all.

Ambika Ghosh

Final student as an MBA aspirant

At Hopetown, learning felt personal. The teaching didn’t just deliver answers—it trained my mind to sit with questions, to listen before reacting, and to grow through discipline. That approach shaped how I learn even today: with patience, purpose, and the confidence to navigate the unknown on my own terms.
