What I do at Aadhyatmik
In my role as the Youth Volunteer Outreach Leader at Aadhyatmik Inc., I am honored to collaborate with fellow high school students to foster community engagement and cultural understanding. Through Aadhyatmik events that celebrate Indian heritage, we are not only preserving our rich traditions but also sharing them with the diverse community of Robbinsville. One of my pivotal roles revolves around the organization of the Diwali Parade, a cultural extravaganza that unites thousands of residents in celebration.
As the Youth Leader, I have taken on diverse responsibilities — from raising charitable donations on behalf of Aadhyatmik for Robbinsville Meals on Wheels, Firefighters, and Police, to choreographing hip-hop performances on Bollywood songs for high school students, adding a unique perspective to the Robbinsville Parade’s rich cultural tapestry. Another event I have been closely associated with is “Sangat,” a social meet-up that connects the community to thought leaders and local artists. “Comedy4Cause” was one such Sangat in which we hosted a stand-up comedy show to raise money for The Anchor House, a Trenton-based shelter for at-risk and runaway teens.
I crafted the event’s flyer and went door-to-door to advertise and sell tickets. Through carefully curated social media posts, I shared the event’s mission, and I set up a vibrant booth at Robbinsville’s National Night Out with games and prizes. In the end, we were able to raise $1,300 on behalf of Aadhyatmik. I also organized an art therapy session at the Robbinsville Senior Center, teaching participants about mandalas — a calming and enriching experience for everyone involved.
I am very grateful for the opportunity to be a part of Aadhyatmik, an organization that embodies the spirit of community, and I am committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of others.
What I aspire to be
As an aspiring quant who has been studying the stock markets for the past four years and holds a Chartered Market Technician Level 1 Certification, my background in financial education has drawn my attention to the significant disparities in financial literacy. I have dedicated my efforts to addressing this gap, particularly through my website, Quantann.com, to make financial education readily available to aspiring investors.
With this goal, I was thrilled to organize a Sangat on wealth management for the community through Aadhyatmik. Featuring a distinguished panel of experts from Wall St., this assembly focused on three areas: living wills, 1031 exchanges, and portfolio optimization. Learning about wealth management empowers individuals to make informed financial decisions and secure their future — helping them budget, save, invest, and plan for retirement.
