Overview
Seventeen‑year‑old student Arjit Aggarwal announced the launch of Sprout Academy, a youth entrepreneurship learning platform he created on his fifteenth birthday in 2024. The press release, dated Friday, Oct 30, 2026, describes the initiative as a means to make entrepreneurship, innovation, and problem‑solving accessible to learners from Grades 1 to 12.
Program Reach
Sprout Academy delivers school‑based programs and intensive camps across India. One initiative engaged nearly 700 students in Uttarakhand, while another reached approximately 1,200 students in Gujarat, providing age‑appropriate instruction and real‑life examples of entrepreneurial concepts.
Founder Background
Arjit Aggarwal, a Grade 12 student at the American Embassy School in New Delhi, grew up observing his father build two startups that achieved unicorn status between the ages of three and fourteen. This exposure to startup persistence, decision‑making, and resilience shaped his belief that entrepreneurial thinking should not be confined to adults.
Platform Description
Sprout Academy’s curriculum focuses on identifying everyday problems, exploring ideas, understanding customers, building solutions, and turning curiosity into action. The platform employs practical learning methods, challenges, workshops, and founder‑focused content to simplify entrepreneurship for young learners and to develop confidence, creativity, and resilience.
