About the Ventures:
thriveSpace
ThriveSpace mentors students aged 6 to 17 through structured, personalised guidance that builds clarity without pressure. This is not college applications work. It is about building strong academic and non academic growth pathways for students in early years.

Kinship
Kinship is an early-stage experiential space in Ahmedabad. We're designing community experiences and services that help bridge the generation gap.
