Saanvi Gullapalli is a middle school student with a passion for financial education and community service. She began investing at the age of eight and soon realized that many students her age had little exposure to money management, investing, or basic financial decision-making.

​​​

Motivated to change that, Saanvi created her own curriculum and began teaching finance classes to fellow students. What started as a small initiative has since grown into Saanvi Finance Academy, a nonprofit effort dedicated to providing free and accessible financial literacy education for young learners.​​
