Sessions run at your school, across India.

Mumbai is the city we run the most sessions in, and the one where the material needed the least adjusting. Students here are surrounded by visible money and visible inequality on the same street, often on the same walk to school — which means the conversation about wanting things, and about what other people have, starts with almost no setup from us..

Navi Mumbai schools tend to be newer, larger and better set up for exactly this kind of thing — most already have an activity or life-skills slot with room in it, which removes the single most common obstacle we hit elsewhere. Coordinators here also tend to ask the sharpest questions about what students take home, which we appreciate..

Thane has grown faster than almost anywhere we teach, and its schools reflect it — a lot of families here are first-generation in the kind of financial position they now occupy. That shows up directly in the classroom: students are negotiating a gap between what their household could afford five years ago and what it can afford today, which is fertile ground for a conversation about wants, needs and comparison..

Pune is a genuinely different teaching environment from Mumbai, and pretending otherwise would be lazy. Students here spend less of their day surrounded by overt status display, so the peer-pressure material needs a different entry point — the pressure exists, but it runs through groups and gaming and shared plans rather than through visible brands.
