From being an employee at McKinsey and Company to being the former COO of Peepul, an education-focused non-profit that works with governments, our Ambassador Girish has always strived to improve the world.

He has worked to deliver systemic and technology solutions for 10+ years across agriculture, renewable energy, education, skilling and financial inclusion.

In his speech at #OYW23, Girish spoke about the power of choice in creating impact: "Each person in this room carries immense privilege and power, and with great power comes great responsibility. I urge you to recognise and use that power and privilege responsibly."

Your choices can empower your organisation and community; watch his speech to learn from his journey.
