Anish Shaikh

Anish Shaikh lost his mother when he was just one year old. His father gave him to a friend and left. He came back to sell Anish to a drug smuggler for peddling. Akansha Foundation intervened and convinced Anish’s father to bring Anish back. Anish's father died before he could do so. After careful negotiations, Anish was set free. To help with Anish's education and supervision, the Ra Foundation enrolled him in 1st grade at Silverdale High School, Panchgani, through its Happy Kids Program. In school, Anish got healthier and showcased his talent in technology and arts. After completing his schooling, he went on to finish his Junior College in Commerce from a college in Mumbai. Fueled by his passion for technology, he is now pursuing a Bachelor's degree in Computer Applications at Bharti Vidyapeeth Pune. Alongside his studies, he works as an Admin Manager at the Flora Institute of Technology, where he gains hands-on experience with technology and computer applications. Additionally, he is actively working on launching his own startup, aimed at helping educational institutes track student progress.
