What is Entrepreneur of Impact?
Learn MoreMy greatest inspiration in business is my family, especially my dad and most importantly my late younger brother, Achyut, who passed away in October 2025. He helped build the foundation of what we are creating, and not a day goes by that I do not think about making him proud. Everything I do now is for his legacy, and to carry forward the vision, resilience, and belief we built together.
How do you stay motivated?I don’t rely on motivation. I have a purpose, and that purpose was strengthened by my brother. When you have a real purpose, you keep going whether you feel motivated or not. Some days are harder than others, but purpose creates discipline, resilience, and consistency. I stay focused by remembering why I started, who I’m doing it for, and that what I’m building is bigger than me.
What would you do with the $25,000?I would give it to my mom to help her start the charity she wants to build in Achyut’s name. The goal would be to support families who have lost young loved ones to chronic diseases and help them feel less alone in their grief. If I could turn this opportunity into something that honors my brother while helping others heal, that would mean more to me than anything.
