WRITER (TEEN MENTAL HEALTH)

Hi, I’m Aditri Pandey, a 14-year-old student and an aspiring changemaker. I’ve always believed that words, ideas, and voices have the power to inspire change — and that’s why I’m so excited to be a part of The Youth Voice Journal. For me, writing isn’t just about putting thoughts on paper; it’s about connecting with people, starting conversations, and sparking hope. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to explore a wide range of interests that have shaped me. I’m passionate about writing, debating, public speaking, dance, and innovation. Whether it’s representing my school in national-level competitions, performing as a trained Kathak dancer, experimenting with robotics and technology, or engaging in Model United Nations and Olympiads, each experience has taught me resilience, teamwork, and the joy of learning. I love exploring how creativity can be harnessed to solve real-world problems and to help people see the world in a different light. From winning environmental projects to developing safety innovations, I’ve learned that curiosity, when combined with action, can create meaningful change. This platform feels like a home for young voices like mine — a place where we can share ideas that matter. I’m grateful for this opportunity and look forward to contributing with sincerity, passion, and creativity, while learning and growing alongside such an inspiring community.

WRITER (ECONOMICS)/ EDITOR

Hey! I’m Anveya Parekh —  10th grader – editor at Youth Voice – occasional coffee lover – full-time over thinker, and chronically curious human.Books are my safe space, ideas are my playground, and I’m probably the only person who loves to be clammed with errands. ( I literally need a calendar to make plans)I believe in voices that shake things up — voices that are young, real, and bold enough to question everything. That’s exactly what Youth Voice means to me. Here, I edit, explore, and occasionally spiral (in the best way) into stories that matter — from the minds of students like us who aren’t afraid to put their thoughts on to paper, the best way we can.

WRITER (FICTON )/EDITOR

My name is Tvisha Nangia and I am a freshman from New Delhi, India. I have numerous hobbies and various interests. I have a strong passion for painting, dance, cooking and public speaking. I like to try out new things and gain different experiences. I love to read fiction novels and write short poems/ poetry. I gravitate towards learning more about STEM-driven projects. Writing has always been a sanctuary for me, where I not only learnt to verbalise and articulate my emotions but broaden my creative horizon.

Hi, I’m Asmit Kumar, a passionate and purpose-driven learner who finds deep joy in exploring the world through research, innovation, and meaningful creation. This curiosity shaped my path as a researcher, where I’ve had the privilege of working on thought-provoking ideas, publishing papers, and contributing to scientific discussions that aim to make a real difference.

Every step of my journey has been driven by a vision — to not just achieve for myself, but to build something larger than me. That vision took shape through ORIGIN GROUPS, a collective of ventures I founded with a mission to create impact across technology, education, AI, and healthcare. I’m still learning, still growing, and still dreaming bigger each day. And through it all, I remain committed to one thing above all: to use my passion and work to create something that truly matters.

I’m a passionate writer whose words reflect the rhythm of a changing world. I express clear, human-toned narratives. I explore themes like growth, ambition, identity, and the evolving relationship between technology and humanity. My writing speaks to the present while hinting at the future, often capturing what others feel but cannot express. Through essays, articles, and blog pieces, I connect deeply with readers across age groups by asking relevant questions and offering grounded perspectives. With a voice that is both bold and reflective, I stand out as a storyteller who doesn’t just write about the world, but writes to it.
