About Us
From the Founder
After graduating high school, I looked back into what I learned and asked myself apart from the textbook prescribed subjects and text, what practicality was there? We have a history class, but we don’t have a future class. Imagine if all of us went into this Pandemic with an emergency fund and we knew how to invest. How many lives could have been saved? This was one thought that always ran through my mind, and it was sad to see that the impoverished and marginalized communities were the ones who were barely getting any attention. This is a step forward to make the world more equitable and to bring in change through positive citizen leadership. We bring financial literacy sans gender, caste, religion and race.

We aim to empower the youth in low-income and emerging countries with financial literacy. Through this, we directly and indirectly contribute to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 1 (no poverty), 4 (quality education) and 8 (decent work and economic growth).
​
Our Vision
We envision a financially literate world by being every youngster’s go-to financial awareness program to intellectually equip themselves. Such learned youngsters can improve their socio-economic status by making well-informed decisions through the program.
