Dream and Dream or
Dream A Dream ?
Director of Research and Impact 
Dr. Sreehari Ravindranath is a researcher and psychologist from the Global Majority whose work sits at the confluence of education, well-being, mindsets, and systemic transformation. He investigates the deeper, often-neglected dimensions of change — those that move beyond technical fixes to the profound, existential shifts required for education systems to truly enable every child to thrive.
At Dream a Dream (India), he forges bridges between policy, practice, and research, driven by an unwavering commitment to decolonizing impact, democratizing data, and diversifying research and knowledge systems. His work seeks to ensure that evidence is not only rigorous, but also inclusive, contextually grounded, and meaningful for the communities it aims to serve.
His research focuses on mindsets, mindset shifts, and mindset-informed theories as powerful levers for system-level change. He also explores the frontiers of AI and education, climate psychology, and indigenous pedagogies, examining how these emerging fields can inform and strengthen mainstream policy and practice — so that education systems evolve with humanity, dignity, and the thriving of every child at their core.
