Anil Pradhan (Young Tinker Foundation) got the businessline Young Changemaker award 2025.
In 2015, Anil Pradhan and Vaishali Sharma co-founded the Young Tinker Foundation to reimagine STEM education for trainees from economically simple backgrounds throughout India. Both Pradhan and Sharma, with a vision for a hands-on knowing design, set out to gear up trainees with analytical abilities, imagination, and management through a useful “tinkering” curriculum. At the heart of their work are Young Tinker Spaces– centres of quality geared up with tools, workstations, and native curriculum– and Tinker on Wheels, a mobile AI-STEM laboratory bringing science to remote corners. Their trademarked items and special pedagogy have actually currently reached almost 3 lakh trainees throughout 8 states, consisting of over 1.32 lakh women. The focus is on empowering high school trainees, especially in backwoods, with the ideal abilities and an analytical frame of mind.
