Growing up in a small village, I often faced exclusion from social activities and unequal access to education and social schemes just because I came from an underprivileged background. That experience left a deep mark on me.. a feeling of being unseen. I promised myself that no other young person should feel that way again. To change this, I started Contest 360, an online platform connecting youth to opportunities they usually miss, which has been visited over 8.3 million times.
