Meet Arjit Aggarwal, 17-year-old Delhi student bringing startup lessons to schools

Seventeen-year-old Arjit Aggarwal, a Grade 12 student at the American Embassy School in New Delhi, is introducing entrepreneurship education to schoolchildren through Sprout Academy, a venture he started at 15. Having grown up around his father's startup businesses, Arjit is now sharing lessons in problem-solving and innovation through programmes that have reportedly reached nearly 1,900 students across Uttarakhand and Gujarat.

Arjit’s interest in startups began at home. Growing up, he watched his father build two companies into unicorns, a term used for privately held startups valued at over $1 billion. According to information shared about his venture, Arjit has now taken some of those lessons into classrooms through workshops and entrepreneurship camps. His programmes have reportedly reached nearly 700 students in Uttarakhand and approximately 1,200 students in Gujarat.
