From Classrooms to Boardrooms: A Startup Dream Begins in Rural Rajasthan

As we conclude this incredible Startup Summer Camp, my heart is full.

When I moved back from the U.S., I had a simple dream: to give rural youth a chance to believe in themselves. Over the past weeks, I watched over 100 students from government schools—most of whom had never heard of entrepreneurship—stand up and pitch ideas with confidence, curiosity, and courage. It’s nothing short of a miracle born out of opportunity.

This isn’t the end—this is just the beginning. Today, I’m proud to share that we are officially launching a new chapter: a dedicated organization that will introduce entrepreneurship as a career path inside Rajasthan’s government school system.

The aim is clear—to create a pipeline of thinkers, doers, and job creators from the heart of rural India. If a child can dream, we must build systems to support those dreams.

To every child who showed up, to every parent who allowed them to come, and to every mentor and volunteer who gave their time: thank you. You are part of a movement now.

This is the reboot of how we look at government education. This is how we build a new India.

With gratitude and hope,
