Shaurya a 17-year-old young boy who is well beyond his years in maturity, worldview and outlook in life.He carries his responsibility effortlessly and this tells a different story about him. Shaurya Kabra is not one to take the easy route to achievement. Nor the much trodden part. Within him beats a heart of gold, and one that bleeds for his lesser privileged compatriots.

Displaying remarkable clarity of matters societal, environmental and economic, he has launched – at his tender age – two wonderful initiatives. Ventures that aspire to empower the not-so-fortunate with the basics of financial literacy and thus help them maximise their own resources and also share his passion of fintech with his peers.

He’s passionate about some of the things that 17-year-olds hanker after. Basketball and singing, to name two. But then, unlike the typical teenager, he’s also captivated by the intricacies of the business and financial world. It’s no coincidence that he is a wizard with numbers.

And so, at an age when the teenager of today is occupied with obsessive devices, Shaurya set his mind on his mission and launched two initiatives: “SimplyFintech” and “Ek Prayaas”. Through both, an attempt to radiate his own financial knowledge and tap on knowledge of the experts in the field for the benefit of others.

“SimplyFintech” is a platform that introduces and educates young individuals about Fintech; demystifying for them that complex world, through sessions delivered by Fintech experts. Shaurya’s vision for “Ek Prayaas” is to improve financial literacy amongst India’s rural masses. Through financial literacy offerings, the platform aims to raise financial awareness and empower underprivileged rural populations.Shaurya Kabra is a man on a mission. For now, a man in a boy’s avatar. But the passion in his eyes and the fire in his belly gives a glimpse into what is to come, and maybe not too distantly into the future… Plans to launch is own Fintech start-up
