During his Fellowship, Umar taught a bunch of 40 enthusiastic Seventh Graders, at Chinchavali Mumbai Public School, Malad (West). While working with a diverse group of individuals from across the globe, he dived deeper into what a good lesson plan looks like, How to deliver an impactful lesson, and also about globally recognized Teacher Techniques, and what exactly an Excellent Education would mean.

He also works as the Wellbeing Mentor for Students. When being asked about Leadership and its Challenges, Umar reflected “ For me, Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It\'s all about the Little Impact, Inspiration, and Change, I bring into the lives of people around me! I do not see a challenge as a problem. Rather, it is the key to unlock the treasure of my greatest potential. Moreover, Difficulties are nothing but Opportunities, just turned inside out:)”
