Mehan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Saturday Art Class, which has reached hundreds of thousands of children across India through partnerships with schools, nonprofits, and large-scale education organizations. A Teach For India alum and Harvard graduate, she began her journey as a teacher in a low-income classroom, where her students shaped her vision for more human, joyful, and child-centered learning experiences.

Saturday Art Class is transforming education in India by integrating visual arts and social-emotional learning into classrooms serving children from underserved communities. By working within existing education systems, the organization creates spaces where children can express themselves, build confidence, and unlock their creative potential.

“As a visionary leader I believe in building collaborative, scalable solutions that center expression, creativity, and access for every child.”
