- What would you share if you had 8 minutes to share your life story, and wanted to make it meaningful for others?
In October 2023, I shared my story of making meaningful social impact at the One Young World Summit at Belfast. In this speech, I cover my journey of learning, exploration and social impact. In closing, there are three lessons each person can take away to implement in their own contexts.
My journey begins in the vibrant coastal city of Kochi, where diversity fuelled my belief in equity and fairness. My path led me through two of India's prestigious institutions (IIT Madras and IIM Ahmedabad) to McKinsey & Company. An attempt to build a pro-bono social impact venture called Social Sprints eventually led me to Peepul, an education non-profit with the mission to enable every child to live up to their potential.
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, our work in Madhya Pradesh was meaningful, to impact 300,000 teachers and 10 million students of the system. The work and its impact extended to reshaping teacher professional development, earning recognition and supporting policy changes.
Looking back, there are three things I want people to recognise: Use your privilege responsibly. Act now. And stay informed.

The part of the speech that most people connected with was what Spider-Man taught us: 'With great power comes great responsibility.' What does this mean to you, in your own context and in your life?
Excellent 👍
Thank you, Dhruv!
This was so so inspiring Girish! ‘Use your privilege responsibly’ is something that is going to stay with me for long. Thank you for this amazing speech!
Thank you so much, Shivangi! Writing this 8 minute speech took me about 8 hours, and I strongly believe in the three takeaways at the end. I’m glad it resonated!

Girish you have a very rare trait of making an impact and I think that is the power you are using very responsibly, Good luck for this channel and everything you do👍
Thank you so much, Abhay - I hope to do something meaningful with my voice. :) I hope I am able to!
While the work part is great: Rise, accolades, innovation, teachers, social sector, and all; you have put it across is such a wonderful way. Your delivery, your stories, your pauses: just Amazing! Read/Stay Informed is a very very important suggestion. Naive good ones =Evil Ones is a great closing line.
Wow, thank you, Preet! I really appreciate the detailed feedback and thoughts, as always! 😃
Loved the scale of the impact - 3 lac teachers - Kudos !!
Thank you Anurag! It took me the last few years to understand the scales we have in India better, through this. :) And the thing is, though, in talking about scale, we should keep in mind that each person is unique and has their own agency / opinion / full life, and not reduce them to just a statistic… :) Always a hard one to manage!
It's so inspiring to hear you and understand your perspective 🔥🔥🔥
Looking forward to see you explore this youtube channel!
Thank you! 🥹 Fingers crossed, and yes, I am curious to see how it all pans out too! 😁
