With 12 years’ experience at Reality Tours and Travel, Asim is one of the organisation’s longest-serving employees.
‘I made my way from part-time computer teacher to General Manager,’ he explains, ‘and I’ve had a lot of different roles along the way.’ He’s right about that – from cricket coach to tour guide to managing a team, Asim has dedicated himself to doing his best for Reality. ‘I’ve always been given a stepping-stone because I’ve shown promise. This company is all about helping people to improve their skills and grow as individuals, and that’s what I love about it.’
His wealth of experience within the organisation means Asim has seen first-hand how it can change the lives of many young people. ‘What our teachers are doing at Royal City School is amazing, and the Youth Program has launched the careers of plenty of young people from Dharavi.’
Asim is proud of the experience he has gained by working at the organisation, ‘I’ve learned everything here – communication skills, delegation, management. I’ve been very lucky to be part of such a great team.’

Meet Sharda, a student on the Reality Gives Youth Program.
Originally from Karnataka, Sharda moved to Mumbai 15 years ago and lives in the heart of Dharavi with her husband and sons. “I come from a village,” says Sharda, “things are different in Mumbai. City life moves so quickly. It’s hard to keep up when people around you are speaking English. I needed to find a way to understand what was going on.”
“A friend recommended this English class to me,” she explains, “I love learning English – especially in class where we get to read aloud and do drama – that’s probably the most fun part.”
For Sharda, learning English was about more than just getting to know the city around her. “I have two boys at home and their English was much better than mine. I wanted to communicate with them more – now they practice with me so we can all improve together.”
The confidence and skills Sharda is building on the Youth Program have propelled her towards a new career. “I dream of being a teacher”, she says. “I need good English to achieve it. My family have been a great support to me. My sons and husband are proud that I am learning a new skill and that I have plans to build a career of my own. I am looking forward to learning more English and reaching my goal.”
