None of them were “struggling students.” They were capable, high-functioning, often top-of-their-class teenagers running on a nervous system that simply never got to switch off. While six students completed the journey, one student was unavailable during the final data collection window due to a major national exam schedule. The data below reflects the verified metrics of the five surveyed participants (N=5).
Before the programme began, Founder Aparna Gupta asked every student the same question:
Things deeply felt but never spoken aloud.
The heavy, everyday weight of the unprocessed.
Self-worth anchored entirely to academic performance, ready to collapse if the grades slipped.
The visible performance weight that the outside world saw and rewarded.
