For Apurva, coming back was never an option, and she always fought back and made her own identity in this competitive world. She feels immense satisfaction in giving her services to the needy.

Apurva Mathur is the HR manager at the GMKS Foundation.

Apurva was born in Jaipur. She did her schooling at Kendriya Vidyalaya. Thereafter, she completed her BA with her majors being Psychology, English Literature, and Political Science from B.N. College, Udaipur.

Recalling her childhood, Apurva says that her father worked at Hindustan Zinc in Dariba. So she spent her childhood there and stayed there until she completed her schooling. She remembers that she was so notorious that her mother tied her up with the guava tree. She moved to Udaipur, where she did her graduation. She further pursued her MBA at the Pioneer Institute of Management.

Apurva shares that after finishing her studies, she worked at a couple of companies as a center head. She met her husband, Vaibhav Vyas, while she was working for a company. She gained good working experience and then joined the NGO Gandhi Manav Kalyan Society, where she currently works. She learned to utilize her education during her fieldwork. Her NGO works for women's empowerment schemes and child development schemes and also raises funds for the needy through government-aided programmes. They teach women how to earn and save money and how to become independent in order to secure their future. She says the way she can bring a smile to someone’s face is priceless for her.

To all those who want to pursue this field, Apurva advises that one should have excellent communication skills, be empathetic towards people's feelings, and know how to interact with people.

Comparing the two, Apurva believes that education is extremely important because it determines our future career path, but once we start working, our experience starts gaining more importance.
