Dhruv N

Growing up in a country like India where half of the population doesn’t have an active savings account, Dhruv founded ‘Finance4Future’. Along with 22 team members, his initiative is trying to address the problem of financial illiteracy that is largely prevalent in lower-income communities and rural areas of India. As of May 2022, they have been able to reach 230 students belonging to underfunded schools and underprivileged communities and offered to take 10-14 classes on basic financial concepts. Their model relies on contacting schools, setting up classes, and covering the basics of banking, loans, budgeting, investment methods, employment benefits etc. Dhruv emphasizes for an effective platform where various small social entrepreneurs can interact with each other and grow, which according to him is a necessity and perhaps the only way to exponentially scale the impact brought by changemakers.
