In 2005, after declining a Wall Street job offer Amitabh Shah started Yuva Unstoppable along with a group of zealous individuals as a youth-led and youth-driven organisation with an aim to positively change the lives of children and youth in need. What started as a volunteer driven movement has today reached close to 6 million individuals through its various community led programs.

As YUVA started taking small footsteps towards development goals, the 23-year-old Amitabh aimed to make a difference in the lives of the younger generation. Amitabh strongly believes that education must assume the highest priority in India’s development mission, but there are alarming shortfalls within the system.
