Her entrepreneurial venture Jungle Book has been nurturing children between the ages of 3 and 14 for more than two decades, helping them develop essential skills in reading, mathematics, logical thinking, communication, and music.
Jas Johari holds the distinction of being the first Indian licensed by the Buzan Organisation to train individuals in Mind Mapping, Speed Reading, and Memory Techniques.
