Started By Students. And Still Run By Students.

We didn't wait for permission to start this. We just started.

Meet the Founders

Two students. One decision to stop waiting for someone else to build this.

Nikhil Kachhwaha

Nikhil Kachhwaha

Co-Founder

Nikhil is a student entrepreneur, researcher and school leader with a keen interest in education, technology and what young people do when someone trusts them early. Driven by curiosity and restlessness, he has a habit of turning half-formed ideas into things that actually run, and late evenings into synth keys, air pistol practice and far too many open tabs. Stubborn, direct and quietly competitive, he believes students are more often underestimated than underprepared, and that people grow fastest when handed something that matters before they feel ready.

Jhanak Sharma

Jhanak Sharma

Co-Founder

Jhanak is a student leader, debater and storyteller with a keen interest in communication, education and human connection. Driven by curiosity and conviction, she has a habit of turning arguments into ideas worth acting on, and quiet moments into poems, doodles and half-finished film reels. Empathetic, hardworking and unapologetically opinionated, she believes confidence is something anyone can be taught, and that the best way to lead is to actually get things done.

Why This Started

It started small. A handful of students who had access to good schools, good teachers and good opportunities, looking around and asking an uncomfortable question. Why does talent only get discovered if you're born in the right zip code?

So we stopped asking and started teaching. Communication classes turned into a full team. A full team turned into 200 plus students. And somewhere along the way, this stopped being a side project and became the thing we actually care about most.

Why It Can't Wait

Every year a student doesn't get to perform, paint, speak or play is a year that confidence doesn't get built. Government schools are full of kids with real talent and zero platforms. Tribal women in our partner communities have never once been asked what they're good at, let alone given a stage for it.

We are not waiting for a system to fix this. We built one ourselves, run by students, for students, and now for a lot more people than just students.
