In this episode, Kiara (14) and Arvind (41) chat with Akshay Saxena, who walked away from Harvard mid-MBA to build Avanti Fellows - an education nonprofit helping under-resourced students across India aim higher, study smarter, and make their way to the IITs.
Akshay chose to spend his time where it matters most - inside real classrooms with real kids, solving the kind of problems you can’t tackle from a boardroom. His journey is all about making sure talent isn’t wasted, and his work has opened doors for thousands of individuals and in-turn communities, that simply needed a fair shot. His work is a masterclass in social impact!
