My time at Indus Academy was a wild rollercoaster ride! From the first day where everything felt so new and intimidating to the last, when it felt like home, Indus academy was a rollercoaster of emotions, memories and growth. I made the most amazing friends who became family and I&#039;m so happy to see everyone excelling in their lives now. From whispering during the most serious of subjects, sports day panic, school trips, group projects, early morning assemblies and every chaotic moment - it has been wild ride! I thank all my mentors and teachers who taught me a lot, had faith in me, encouraged me and motivated me along the way. Thank you! \r\nAnd to the current batch at Indus, make the most of your time here - it is indeed the best time of your life before you move on! <\/div>\n            <div class=\"loop__item__info\">\n                <div class=\"loop__item__info2\">\n                    <div class=\"loop__item__thumbnail\"><div class=\"loop__item__thumbnail--bkg la-lazyload-image\" data-background-image=\"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/testi-neha-riaz.jpg\"><\/div><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"loop__item__title\">\n                        <h3 class=\"entry-title\">Neha Riaz<\/h3>                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"loop__item__meta\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"loop__item grid-item testimonial_item post-581 la_testimonial type-la_testimonial status-publish hentry\">\n    <div class=\"loop__item__inner\">\n        <div class=\"loop__item__inner2\">\n            <div class=\"loop__item__desc\">I graduated from Indus in 2008. Although it feels like a lifetime ago, every memory and lesson still feels fresh. Indus was a place where my friends and I grew up together, learned, and were prepared to be part of the race that is life. Being the fastest runner at Indus helped me stay ahead in that race.\r\nThe support and guidance I received from mentors like Mrs. Malik, Ms. Tania, and Mrs. Shabbir played a big role in shaping who I am today. I&#039;m now living on the other side of the world, working in data science, doing my part to help shape the growth and acceptance of AI.

It wasn\u2019t just a school \u2014 it was where I grew up, discovered who I was, and learned some of the most important lessons of my life. From the classroom to extracurriculars, every experience taught me how to work with others, take initiative, and lead with empathy.\r\nNow, working at United Towel Exporters, I constantly find myself using those same skills \u2014 whether it\u2019s building strong teams, handling challenges, or just being someone my colleagues can rely on. The leadership qualities I developed at Indus weren\u2019t taught through textbooks \u2014 they were built through experiences, opportunities, and the belief my teachers had in me.\r\nI\u2019m truly grateful to Indus Academy for helping me become the person I am today.<\/div>\n            <div class=\"loop__item__info\">\n                <div class=\"loop__item__info2\">\n                    <div class=\"loop__item__thumbnail\"><div class=\"loop__item__thumbnail--bkg la-lazyload-image\" data-background-image=\"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/testi-unknown.jpg\"><\/div><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"loop__item__title\">\n                        <h3 class=\"entry-title\">Rabia Rauf<\/h3>                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"loop__item__meta\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"loop__item grid-item testimonial_item post-785 la_testimonial type-la_testimonial status-publish hentry\">\n    <div class=\"loop__item__inner\">\n        <div class=\"loop__item__inner2\">\n            <div class=\"loop__item__desc\">Indus Academy has been more than just a school\u2014it\u2019s been the foundation of who I am today. From the moment I stepped through its doors as a kindergartener in 1998, to the day I graduated in 2010, Indus was a place of learning, growth, and unforgettable memories. It gave me lifelong friendships, and a deep sense of community.\r\nThe values I learned\u2014leadership, integrity, service, and self-belief\u2014carried me through my journey to Aga Khan University, Johns Hopkins, and now in my role leading public health initiatives in New Jersey. Dreaming big isn\u2019t the hard part\u2014having the courage to chase those dreams is. Indus gave me that courage, and that belief in myself has made all the difference.\r\nI\u2019m forever grateful to be part of such a remarkable community.<\/div>\n            <div class=\"loop__item__info\">\n                <div class=\"loop__item__info2\">\n                    <div class=\"loop__item__thumbnail\"><div class=\"loop__item__thumbnail--bkg la-lazyload-image\" data-background-image=\"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/testi-sakina-ladha.jpg\"><\/div><\/div>\n                    <div class=\"loop__item__title\">\n                        <h3 class=\"entry-title\">Dr. Sakina Ladha (Gheewala)<\/h3>                    <\/div>\n                    <div class=\"loop__item__meta\">\n                                            <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<!-- .testimonial-loop --><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; la_animation_duration=&#8221;1&#8243; la_animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; la_animation_iteration_count=&#8221;1&#8243; el_class=&#8221;story-text&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;] Let&#8217;s Connect with TIA [\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; la_animation_duration=&#8221;1&#8243; la_animation_delay=&#8221;0&#8243; la_animation_iteration_count=&#8221;1&#8243; el_class=&#8221;maintheme alumnispacing&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1744349730032{margin-top: -40px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;592&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1744368070475{margin-top: -25px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1747814988809{margin-top: 70px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-455","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/455","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=455"}],"version-history":[{"count":26,"href":"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/455\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1098,"href":"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/455\/revisions\/1098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/commforceintl.com\/indus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=455"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
