The Teenage Founder's Secret Weapon: AI | Nivedan Rathi | TEDxYouth@NMS
In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and entrepreneurship, Nivedan Rathi’s journey is nothing short of sheer inspiration. Leaving behind his job at the mere age of 22 to chase his passion of entrepreneurship and love for technology, Nivedan founded two startups, which, while not hugely successful, did not dull his spark. Despite the daunting statistics that surrounded him, Nivedan, fueled by the belief that technology is the catalyst for change and a means to bring new ideas to life, took inspiration from some of the greatest changemakers of our time- Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates. In a rather conversational tone, while popping up thought provoking questions amongst the audience, he proves the validity of a cheat code that paved his way- starting early gives you a major upper hand. Over the years, he has realised that today’s world is shaped by AI. With AI, there are no boundaries to what can be created, even by a person living in remote areas with a scarcity of capital, which encouraged him to create his startup, Future & AI. Whether it’s stories, visuals for movies, games, even the making of a startup from scratch, AI can do it all. Instead of asking questions to AI, we must ask AI to ask us, in order to systematise and direct our thinking. A world class team, at much lower salaries than before can be built with many of the departments being undertaken by AI itself. Being an entrepreneur today is not about big ideas, but working smartly on pressing real problems that require interpersonal skills and a compelling vision. We still have to make the air breathable, wars to stop and lives to enhance, and everything comes down to one solution- innovation. Nivedan Rathi, the founder of Future & AI, a leading platform in India dedicated to AI learning & networking with over 250,000 subscribers, is an alumnus of IIT Bombay. He is committed to public education & AI advocacy. His mission to democratise access to Generative AI's transformative power for 1M people by 2025, bridging the gap between cutting-edge capabilities & practical business applications is truly admirable. Nivedan has achieved numerous milestones, notably, growing Future & AI to over 250k followers & accumulating 30 million views within just 12 months. He has helped companies formulate their AI strategies & implement effective upskilling programs. He is a seasoned professional who was the Business & Marketing Head at Meesho. As a testimony to his IIT background, he combines a robust educational background with practical experience in the e-commerce landscape. His leadership, passion, & determination make him a visionary in the truest sense.
