MEET NINAAD LAKSHMAN

Ninaad Lakshman is a driven Junior at the Georgia Institute of Technology with a strong passion for entrepreneurship. His love for creativity in business pushed him to build new ventures that add fresh value to society. His first company, a 501c3 nonprofit called InspireYouth, sought to provide equal opportunity to underprivileged students in the STEM field. Ninaad found that each child, when given the proper resources and opportunities can flourish in their own unique way. With a passion for coaching children to find personal success, he then created Gifted Gabber, a company that makes conversation a superpower in children. Through Gifted Gabber and InspireYouth, Ninaad finds immense bliss in watching kids breakthrough their limits and search for their unique passions.

NINAAD'S MISSION

With his formative experience in facilitating children’s potential, he began to connect his passion with computer science through building more businesses, such as his technology startup Canary and his BlockChain ATM systems. In doing so, Ninaad clarified his vision for the future. He hopes to live a life of service through technology ventures, instilling meaningful growth and fulfillment in others. Currently, his passion for guiding children to their own paths to success remains his priority.
