With approximately fifteen years of experience in performing arts and as an economist and management consultant working in the space of strategy, policy formulation, impact assessment and end to end programme implementation for public and private sector, she realized the linkages between education, wellbeing and arts have been the weakest in South Asia particularly India.
Having seen first hand the challenges with regards to pedagogy design and impact of art education on skill development in both learners and teachers and the immense possibilities that remain untapped, ImmerseGo was born to solve these challenges and offer cutting edge innovations in education and wellbeing using Arts and thereby meet the UN SDGs through Arts.
Shreyoshi’s desire to contribute to UN SDGs through art based interventions led her to start ImmerseGo, to contribute towards UN SDGs 2030 through Art Integrated Education (AIE) and sustainable livelihood generation.

> Goal 4- Quality Education
> Goal 5-Gender Equality
> Goal 8 -Decent work & Economic Growth
> Goal 13- Climate Action
> Goal 16-Peace, Justice and strong institutions
These are primarily done by offering skill development and livelihood opportunities for our artisan facilitators and offering art integrated education to children between 5 to 15 years to build life skills, values and understanding of the world.
