About Almas Shaikh
The Visionary Behind The Learners' Lounge
Salam, friends!
I’m just your regular mom who saw too many problems in how schools were teaching kids—so I decided to do something about it. Homeschooling my daughters wasn’t easy, but it was worth every moment. I wanted them to actually enjoy learning, to explore their creativity, and to grow into curious, confident individuals—not just memorize textbooks for the sake of exams.
The Learners’ Lounge started in the most ordinary way—right in my drawing room. Women came over for chai and conversations, kids ran around doing art projects, and little by little, it grew into something bigger than I ever imagined. Now, it’s become a space where women and children can feel connected, inspired, and supported. A place where creativity, learning, and community all come together.
I don’t think of myself as someone extraordinary—just someone who’s passionate about making a difference, one small step at a time. The Lounge is my way of giving back to this amazing community, and my hope is simple: to create a space where everyone can feel valued and know they have the potential to do something amazing. That’s it. No big claims, just big heart.
