" I am passionate about making finance more accessible, transparent, and inclusive for all the sectors of the economy. I believe that financial literacy and equitable economic opportunities can transform lives and communities. My journey has been shaped by mentors and experiences that showed me the power of informed decision-making, and I want to use my skills to empower others—especially youth—to create sustainable change in the global economy.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Rural Wealth Up-skilling

We are trying to educate people about life insurance in rural villages under Pradhan Mantri Jeevan Jyoti Bima Yojana (PMJJBY). The villagers are unaware of life insurance and its advantages, and since they are not always in a financially stable state, they do not consider it, By meeting people directly—house calls, shop calls, and calls to community centers—we spread awareness regarding insurance and reduce misconceptions. With the help of this project, we will be able to guarantee the economic well-being of the families even when the primary earner of the family passes away; life insurance can offer financial assistance and avoid unexpected distress. The COVID-19 pandemic illustrated how much financial security matters and makes this more important and relevant than ever. Our aim is to insure the entire village by covering each family. In the long term, we would like to take this project to more villages and establish long-term economic stability in the neediest communities.
