The idea for The Social Paathshala is born

The idea for The Social Paathshala first came to Founder Mahima Bhalotia whilst she was engaged in a casual office canteen discussion when her boss got continuous calls from his mother - who was insisting on him to book an Uber for her, because she did not know how to book one. However, long working hours & work pressure forced Mahima to take a step back towards contributing to this initiative.
