Anoushka Jolly

Anoushka’s initiative aims to minimise bullying by raising awareness among children and in educational institutions. The digital platform acts as a community where specialists come together to organise sessions in schools for counselling students and spreading awareness against bullying.

In 2023, she was awarded the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar by President Draupadi Murmu in Delhi. Awarded in the Social Service Category, she had even raised funds for her invention at the popular TV show ‘Shark Tank’ with a pre-revenue valuation of Rs 50 lakh and Rs 5 lakh funding for her anti-bullying app ‘Kavach’. She became the youngest entrepreneur to convince sharks, Anupam Mittal, founder and CEO of People Group (Shaadi.com) and Aman Gupta, co-founder of the boat, to fund her project.
