- Shouldn't we create a better future where our young students believe they can do well in life, create value in life not only for themselves but for the country? Remember our population is not a liability, the youth demographic dividend of ours is an asset. Stories of Salman, Ashish, Padmavathi and Renuga are a testament to the transformative power of belief in oneself and willingness to innovate regardless of circumstances. If young people feel that they can solve a problem, with a little bit of encouragement from people around, they will go out in the world not feeling like a failure. Mekin is the founder & CEO of Udhyam Learning Foundation - a Non-profit that has enabled entrepreneurial mindsets for over 16 lakh govt school & ITI students across 8 states in India and an annual income uplift of Rs. 20 Cr for 5000 Istri entrepreneurs.
He is also a co-founder of the Global Alliance for Mass Entrepreneurship (G.A.M.E) and Social Change at ACT Grants and an independent board member at TeamLease. As an Angel investor & philanthropist, he is focused on creating impact at scale in the fields of human capital & Ed-techs.
An engineer by education, Mekin started his career at Yahoo!. Before Udhyam, he helped Flipkart through its scale journey. An early leader at Flipkart, starting from when the company was in a 2-room house, building & leading the most impactful technology team in the country to eventually playing the role of Chief People Officer for a 35k-strong team.
Mekin deeply cares about people realizing their potential and succeeding in life. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
