Anish Sudhan is currently a Young India Fellow at Ashoka University. He previously worked with KPMG in India in the Cyber Strategy & Governance service line and majored in Computer Science and Engineering with a specialisation in Cybersecurity from NMIMS’ School of Engineering, Mumbai, India. Since childhood, he’s been fascinated with the ideal of freedom—to voice one’s opinion, be who one wants to be, and live a good life, which everyone deserves.

In high school, he sought Model UN conferences as a platform to grow, connect with individuals holding diverse perspectives, and embrace his notion of freedom. In the process, he became sensitised to all that happened around him, to the issues that permeated society and had established themselves right under his nose.

He realised he had to create impact, and with his venture, ReFlex, he aims to do just that. ReFlex seeks to contribute to a circular economy, preventing toxic flex material from reaching landfills and repurposing it to serve as roofing for underserved populations in his city. Though starting small, he aims to grow this venture, amplify his impact, and affect more people’s lives.

While he’s about to spend the next year exploring the world around and the world within, juggling various interests and career paths, he’s sure of one goal that will always remain constant—to be a change-maker.
