In this bold and inspiring talk, Ahan Mehra, an 18-year old changemaker, challenges the conventional model of education for the marginalized. Sharing lessons from his grassroots work in rural India, he reveals a powerful insight: the most transformative gift we can give a child is not the right answer, but the tools and empowerment to ask the right question. Through his project—the Mallawan Village Foundation—Ahan introduces the Autonomy Algorithm, a framework that empowers underserved youth to learn independently using curiosity, creativity, and AI-powered tools.
