The couple's impact has been extensive. They firmly believe in enabling children to nurture their innate passion for learning, creating, discovering and innovating and amplifying their voices to the larger world.  Upon returning to India, they founded Al Qamar Academy, where they created a model of effective education which won recognition by none less than the Homi Bhabha Centre for Science Education and other national and international premier bodies. The school was consistently ranked in the top 10 Indian schools in the national Asset examinations and won the Asset School Award. It also won the RobinAge Bright Sparks Award in 2021 for creative writing and art. Al Qamar students won national and international accolades including qualifying for Mensa, awards at the Russian School of Mathematics competition, Global Math Challenge, OMEIAT science fairs, city-wide quiz competitions, top ranks in the EI Asset Talent examinations, qualifications for gifted programs in top US universities, along with stellar performance in the Cambridge and Edexcel examinations. All these were testimonies to the unique learning design at Al Qamar which inculcated a lifelong love for learning without stress or pressure.  Upon the school’s closure during the pandemic, the Jamal's co-founded Cogitation Club which offers out of school programs focused on developing thinking skills in middle & high schoolers.  

The Jamals' work not only shaped the students who attended the school and their parents, but also educational institutions across the world who saw the school as a model and visited it to understand how it could be replicated. At both Al Qamar and at Cogitation Club, they have designed and implemented upskilling programs for adults on education & pedagogy. Cogitation Club's book authoring program resulted in over 50 student authored books which have found their way into libraries and schools across the world and are listed on Open Library.  The Al Qamar Reading Program was adopted and adapted at other schools to build the reading habit in children.  The school's implementation of the HBSCE Small Science program was extensively written about and served as a template for a network of schools across India. Al Qamar’s Montessori Arabic program received accolades at the Global Association of Islamic Schools’ conference in 2024.  Their field ecology and environmental studies program created a model for school partnership programs in environmental education.
