Connect Who or what is your inspiration in business?

I’m inspired by visionaries like Satya Nadella and their ability to disrupt industries, but also by the people my work impacts—students, startups, and underserved communities. The potential of AI to solve complex problems and empower individuals drives me to create solutions that make technology accessible, affordable, and transformative.

How do you stay motivated?

Motivation comes from seeing lives transformed by my work—students accessing opportunities through EduRaah and startups thriving with AI. Collaborating with diverse teams, driving progress, and solving meaningful problems energize me. On challenging days, I focus on the long-term impact of my efforts and the ripple effect of empowering individuals and industries.

What would you do with the $25,000?

I’d expand EduRaah to underserved communities, enhance AI capabilities like real-time insights and multilingual support, and create awareness campaigns about affordable, tech-driven education guidance. A portion would fund programs for young innovators to leverage AI for local challenges, amplifying the prize’s impact and empowering future change-makers.
