Summary

Founder and social‑education builder: Adarsh founded Skillzo (2023) as a low‑budget, youth‑led platform to provide mentorship, entrepreneurship training and practical opportunities to underserved high‑school students, partnering with institutions like IIT Guwahati and IIT Madras and reaching tens of thousands of learners. skillzo+2
Overcame structural barriers to education: Raised in East Champaran, Bihar, by a single mother with limited resources, he left home at 14 with minimal funds, self‑taught via free online resources and libraries, and later secured a full scholarship to the IB Diploma at JPIS—an arc that underpins his mission to expand educational opportunity. chegg+1
Grassroots organiser and community impact lead: Early projects such as Mission Badlao demonstrate a focus on local, measurable change—surveying households, helping secure a school site, enabling COVID vaccinations, distributing menstrual products and organizing tree planting—showing experience in translating community diagnostics into interventions. globalteacherprize+1
Youth voice in global education and tech policy: Recognised with awards and advisory roles (including being named a Google Youth Advisor via Canvas8 and serving as a judge for international education/innovation competitions), he operates at the intersection of grassroots delivery and global policy conversations about youth and technology. evessiocloud+2
