BMM Marathi School and Rahul Deshmukh
I passively listened to my friend Rahul Deshmukh speak about the oncoming Marathi exams conducted by BMM for kids in the US. I loved Rahul’s enthusiasm and passion to get things done. The entire BMM team is awesome and Rahul is steering all towards success. I emet one more person like Neeldhara Mishra this week. I am looking forward to meet more in the coming weeks.
