With a heart that beats for education and a mind wired for science and adventure, I have had the privilege of working with some of the finest international schools in India and abroad, including Indus International School Hyderabad, Kings College India, Pledge Harbor International School Bangladesh, and JBCN International School Borivali. I hold an M.Sc in Biotechnology and a B.Ed, and over the past decade, I have taken on senior leadership roles, working closely with educators, students, and parents to create meaningful learning experiences. I strongly believe in collaboration, knowing that when we work together towards a common goal, we can create an environment where students are happy, confident, and empowered to chase their dreams.
My world isn’t just about lesson plans and leadership meetings—sports has been my lifelong companion! Having played professional cricket for several years, I still thrive on the adrenaline of competition. Whether it’s football, table tennis, badminton, or any game that gets the heart racing, count me in! If you’re looking for me after school hours, chances are, I’m on the field, taking on students in a friendly match.
Then there’s music—my not-so-secret love. The timeless melodies of Kishore Kumar, Md. Rafi, and Lata Mangeshkar are my favourites, and while I love to sing, I’m well aware that my “performances” can be a delightful treat or an unexpected endurance test, depending on the audience!
When I’m not in school, you’ll find my family and me on a road trip, indulging in great food and adventure.
For me, learning is an exciting, ever-evolving journey—one that goes beyond books and classrooms, into the fields, the mountains, and the melodies of life!
Hi, I am Prajnamita Sen, Senior Secondary Coordinator at Empyrean School. I’m thrilled to be on this incredible adventure, inspiring and guiding our vibrant community with unbridled passion.
With a bookshelf full of literary love and a heart full of linguistic curiosity, I’ve earned an MPhil in Literature and a diploma in French. My academic credentials are a testament to my love for languages, learning, and the art of storytelling. I am often tagged as a Grammar Nazi!
When I’m not geeking out over literature, you can find me lost in a good book, attempting to conjugate French verbs, or belting out show tunes on stage (yes, I’m a drama queen at heart!).
I’m also a travel enthusiast, always on the lookout for my next adventure, and a self-proclaimed foodie, with a passion for discovering hidden gems – quaint cafes, hole-in-the-wall eateries, and local flavors that tantalize my taste buds.
With over a decade of experience in education, I’ve had the privilege of heading the Department of English, where I nurtured a love for language and literature in the hearts of my students. I’ve learned to wear many hats – devoted educator, curriculum wizard, teacher trainer, and chief storyteller. But what brings me the most joy is the conversations I have with students and parents – sharing stories, exchanging ideas, and watching young minds grow.
As they say, the pen is mightier than the sword, come join me at Empyrean, and let’s write the next chapter in your child’s educational saga.
I’m Teena Johny, Academic Coordinator for Lower Secondary at Empyrean School, where I’ve had the privilege of growing, learning, and evolving since our inception in 2017. With a Master’s in Education and English, I’ve leveraged my expertise to drive my career forward, navigating a dynamic journey that spans over 15 years of corporate experience and a decade in education.
As a teacher, teacher trainer, and academic leader, I’ve mastered the art of role-hopping, with a few impressive leaps along the way, from teaching in the classroom to leading as Head of Department for Math, and now as Academic Coordinator. Along the way, I’ve developed a knack for finding creative solutions to complex problems, a love for analyzing data to tell stories, and a fair for writing that comes in handy when crafting documents that communicate our vision.
Quick wit, quicker learning – that’s my superhuman combo, I thrive in environments that demand adaptability and creativity. When I’m not working, you can find me curled up with a good book, planning my next adventure, or singing off-key and mangling the lyrics.
As part of the Empyrean family, I’m dedicated to helping our students grow into compassionate, curious, and creative individuals who are equipped to navigate the complexities of our ever-changing world.

Holding a Bachelor’s degree in Commerce and a Diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education, I’ve blended my classroom expertise with leadership responsibilities. My passion lies in fostering meaningful connections and nurturing young minds.
As a mother, my own journey has profoundly shaped my nurturing nature. I’ve learned to cherish the little moments, to listen with empathy, and to create a sense of belonging. These values guide me as I strive to create an environment where students feel valued, parents feel heard, and teachers feel supported.
In my free time, you’ll find me with a cup of tea, immersed in a short story, or reminiscing about the wisdom of Birbal, a character whose wit and humor still captivate me. My happy place is undoubtedly with kids, watching them grow, learn, and thrive. I also enjoy observing people and studying their characteristics, which helps me better understand and connect with those around me.
Come meet me and see how I nurture young minds and celebrate bubbling curiosity! Together, let’s inspire a brighter and more compassionate future.

Children learn best when they are happy, exploring, thinking and experiencing, I wish and hope to help every child discover their potential in a safe, happy, and exciting environment.. For me, teaching isn’t just a job—it’s my calling.
When I’m not busy with the tiny tots, you’ll find me dancing, jamming to music, traveling, discovering new places, or finding my zen with some yoga. Fun fact: these hobbies often sneak into my thoughts, sparking imagination, movement, and exploration in my students!
As I continue this amazing journey, my goal is simple: to nurture happy little humans who embrace every step of life as a learning adventure and grow into the best version of themselves. Let’s get together and make learning joyful!

That’s me in a nutshell! I’m excited to be part of the Empyrean family and can’t wait to see what the future holds.

With over 15 years of experience as a guide, facilitator, and mediator, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing incredible transformations in the lives of my students and parents.

Hi, I’m Rashmi Pandey, the Academic Guidance Counsellor at Empyrean School. Think of me as a modern day fortune teller—no crystal ball, just a solid strategy. I don’t predict the future, but I do help learners visualize what it could look like by mapping out career pathways that align with their strengths, interests, and ambitions.
With an MSc in Psychology, I bring a deep understanding of human behavior into career counseling. I’ve worked with 1,500+ learners and am currently guiding 700 more, ensuring they find careers that aren’t just impressive on paper but genuinely align with who they are.
Beyond career guidance, I believe in conversations that matter. Whether it’s choosing subjects, navigating college applications, or figuring out what truly makes them tick, I’m here to make sure every learner feels heard, supported, and empowered. And because success doesn’t happen in isolation, I collaborate closely with teachers, parents, and industry experts to create a strong network of mentorship and resources.
When I’m not helping students figure out their futures, you’ll find me lost in a book, dancing like no one’s watching, or grabbing the mic for an impromptu karaoke session. I also love to travel—but let’s be real, someone definitely needs to drag me out of bed first. Oh and I have a habit of turning feelings into rhymes at 3 am. I string words together until they feel like home- sometimes it makes sense, other times it just sounds pretty.
At Empyrean, we’re not just helping students pick careers—we’re helping them craft futures that are bold, fulfilling, and uniquely theirs. My mission? To instill a mindset of learning to earn, but yearning to learn—because real success is fueled by curiosity, growth, and a lifelong passion for learning.
Hello! I am Pradnya Pomendkar, I am a Chemistry graduate with a B.Ed. and have been a proud member of Empyrean School since 2019. Over the years, I’ve embraced diverse teaching roles. From Life Skills, Social Science, Science to Speech and Drama, connecting with students of all age groups through my
dynamic and engaging style.
Beyond teaching, I’ve contributed to the Research and Development team, driving innovative learning strategies. Currently, as the Head of Marketing and Admissions, I work to align the school’s vision with impactful strategies, fostering growth and building meaningful connections.
When it comes to hobbies, I wear many hats! Dancing, singing, anchoring, writing, and connecting with people are just the tip of the iceberg. Some days, I feel I could have been a choreographer, motivational speaker, makeup artist, counselor—the list goes on! On those rare days when I’m not in my professional element, you might catch me exploring one
of these passions, so don’t be surprised.
Let’s catch up at Empyrean School someday to share ideas about how we envision our students’
future and the steps we take to make it all happen!
Empyrean School is a vibrant community of learners, educators, and parents learning, growing and evolving every single day. We have come together to create a purpose-driven ecosystem where learning and wellbeing go hand in hand. A place where happiness truly unlocks potential.
