Amay Ahuja
Year 10 Student · Jumeirah College, Dubai, UAE
Amay Ahuja founded Brightminds Laboratory to bridge the educational opportunity gap between privileged and underserved students. What began as an awareness of inequality has grown into a concrete, measurable project — a fully-equipped Composite Laboratory serving hundreds of students in rural Bihar.
His role spans planning, fundraising, implementation, awareness, and ongoing monitoring — all done in close collaboration with KCS Foundation, which leads ground operations in Bihar.
"Growing up in Dubai with access to excellent education, I always knew I was fortunate. But understanding that millions of students with the same curiosity and potential had no access to a laboratory, a computer, or even a microscope — that stayed with me. I realised that awareness without action is just observation. Brightminds Laboratory is my way of turning awareness into impact."
— Amay Ahuja, Founder, Brightminds Laboratory
