‘My daughter aspires to become a womanpreneur’ 

Sanjam Kaur is a class 12 student at Apeejay School, Faridabad, Sector 15. She is a commerce student and aspires to become a big businesswoman in the coming years. Speaking about her progress with her father Mr Inderjeet Singh Chhabra, we learn how Sanjam tested and developed her business skills during the lockdown. Read edited excerpts:

Sanjam has chosen commerce, does she have any particular aspiration in mind?

She will be managing her own business soon. I am also a businessman and so Sanjam has grown up in a business environment which has developed her financial skills faster in life. I deal in batteries and inverters but my daughter wishes to set up her own business, of a nail art showroom.

Are the teachers doing justice to the subjects?

The teachers are doing good. They are putting in efforts for the overall development of all the students. Ofcourse, nowadays, academic progress is not the only parameter of success. The students have to also hone the skills within them which they would need to reach their career aspiration. That is the student’s onus. 

Are you satisfied with the school environment?

Apeejay School, Faridabad, Sector 15 is a big brand. It is a hallmark of quality education and it continues to deliver on this promise everyday. I am so happy my child is blooming in this environment.

Is Sanjam interested in sports and extracurriculars?

She is a bit shy in nature. She played a bit of basketball in school in her junior classes. But yes she likes music and is learning the guitar in school.

Have you spotted any business skills so far in your child?

Yes. During the pandemic, she assisted me in some tasks of my business. She bought the goods online and sold them further to customers. She did a very commendable job  and even made a profit that enabled her to pay her tuition fees all by herself. I am confident my daughter is on the right path.
