Founder: I am the Founder of Khoj, a non-profit organization that now boasts a membership of 170+ versatile individuals. Spearheaded a team of 30+ individuals to launch 4 subcommunities. Hosted an independent Open Mic with 40+ performers and 200 audience members.
Khoj was warmly received by The Big Red Group. Listed in one of the '5 Entrepreneurs Who Made It Big As Teenagers'. "Khoj" is a digital hub for collaborative learning.

We're a group of multitalented, multifaceted teenagers who want to create something new with their knowledge together. As of today, Khoj has 4 notable creations : ( Let it be noted that I am the Director for each of the following too )

(1) Sanguine Records - is a music record label working for young, underrated hip-hop artists. We distribute their music and are responsible for all of their social media marketing, production of music videos, etc. We handpick our artists ( there are 9 artists currently ). We also host offline networking events for hip-hop artists.

(2) No Filter w/ Khoj - A podcast interviewing young entrepreneurs who have made it big as teenagers. An unfiltered conversation with people who can inspire our youth. We cover a very diverse range of guests, from influencers like Saadhamanus (72k + followers on Instagram) to discussing Cryptocurrency with a 19-year-old Google Developer Expert, to hip-hop revolution Vedang, etc.

(3) Buddyline - Buddyline is a chat helpline for teens, by teens. Inspired by my mental health struggles, I started this venture to help other people like me who are struggling but don’t have anyone who will listen to them unconditionally. We have a tie-up with renowned psychologist Dr. Radha Raaje, who guides us for this venture.

(4) Taksh - Taksh is a tech community for engineers. Phase 1 of Taksh includes helping future engineers solve their engineering projects by building a tight intellectual community.

We've also had study groups studying Indian Classical Music, Mythology, Psychology, and Astronomy among other subjects. You can check out their presentations on our YouTube channel.
