About Us
Shyno B Paul
ISELpro.com is founded by Dr. Shyno B. Paul, a passionate educator with a diverse background in academia and a love for storytelling. Dr. Shyno holds a Ph.D. in Comparative English Studies from Delhi University. During her Ph.D. studies, she was given the opportunity to teach undergraduates and diploma holders in functional English classes.
Her teaching career continued at St. Xavier’s College, Ahmedabad, where she had the pleasure of teaching English to both graduate and postgraduate students. She also taught at Karnavati University in Gandhinagar and contributed to the Mahatma Gandhi Heritage Sites Mission with the Sabarmati Ashram.
Dr Shyno’s career trajectory has always been guided by her love for storytelling and her commitment to fostering empathy and understanding through narrative. This passion led her to co-found PodMirror, which is one among India’s first web news portal dedicated to podcasting.
The idea for PodMirror was first conceptualized with her late brother-in-law, Elgin Matt John, in April 2020, based on their belief in the unique power of podcasting to connect with listeners on a deeply personal level. Podcasts, with their in-depth interviews, first-person narratives, and creative audio formats, draw listeners into the experiences of others, fostering a sense of connection and allowing them to step into the shoes of those who may be different from them.
In addition to her work with PodMirror, Dr. Paul has created two podcasts: #HashtagWomen, which focuses on women’s issues, and the @theDailySpeakingTree podcast on YouTube.
Our Mission
At ISELpro.com, our goal is to provide the Indian audience with the latest news and research on Social and Emotional Learning (SEL), child development, teaching, and parenting11. We aim to fill a crucial gap in the Indian media landscape by creating a dedicated space for this vital information. We believe that by informing parents, educators, and the wider community, a more empathetic and understanding society can be contributed to.
Why SEL?
Social and Emotional Learning is a powerful tool for building empathy and understanding. It provides individuals with the skills to manage emotions, set positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, and make responsible decisions. By focusing on SEL, our aim is to empower both schools and homes to nurture emotionally intelligent children who are well-equipped to navigate the complexities of the modern world.
