Talking about the importance of educating parents on securing their child’s financial future, Yeshwanth Raj Parasmal, Co-founder & Principal Director, 21K School comments, “In this competitive world, investing in good quality education for your child can be the enabler of their success in the future. Often parents do not anticipate the costs associated with higher education and thus do not plan their investments for this endeavour specifically. At 21K School we tirelessly work towards offering the best possible scholastic opportunities for our students and therefore believe it is our duty to assist parents in making their child’s dream come true. Through this workshop, we aimed at creating a dialogue between industry expert Deepesh Mehta and parents so that they could get responses to challenging money questions from the best.”
