Raghav Pardasani

Delhi, India

Raghav is enthusiastic about data science, writing, history, environmental conservation, and economics. He is currently a first-year at the University of Chicago.

In high school, Raghav founded Carryubble to convert crop residue, or stubble, into affordable handmade bags to replace single-use plastics. He also spearheaded Stubble Trouble, a social initiative within Carryubble to provide an unbiased picture of why farmers typically burn stubble. He has written a book called History Makes Leaders, which explores the successes and failures of various Indian rulers, highlighting their significance to our understanding of leadership skills.

Raghav believes that youngsters – now, more than ever – need to act on their beliefs. Since the world is replete with wide-ranging environmental problems, he feels that everyone should give back to the planet for enriching our lives.
