Meet Our Team

"She isn't just a leader, she's a bridge between generations. As the Japanese proverb says, 'An old pestle still grinds well,' she believes wisdom never fades, just finds new ways to be passed on. As the Founder & CEO of Youthika, she created a space to bring people together, spark conversations, and ensure no story is left untold. Beyond leadership, Palak finds joy in painting, poetry, and photography, seeing art in the smallest of things. Whether it is speaking to a crowd or working behind the scenes, Palak makes sure every voice is heard. She strongly lives by Maya Angelou's words: 'Your legacy is every life you've touched,' because true impact is about the lives we change throughout the journey of life."

An avid traveler, Haritha draws inspiration from diverse cultures, bringing fresh ideas into her work. Known for her strong communication and leadership skills, she ensures people feel heard, seen, and valued.

"The Creative Head of Youthika, Srinidhi Ganti, is enthusiastic about improving the lives of the elderly through innovative and compassionate projects. With a strong passion for extracurricular activities, art provides a means of self-expression and tranquility, while travel stimulates new ideas and inventiveness. She works to make every moment meaningful for the elderly because she believes that art has the ability to create happiness, purpose, and connection. 'Finding your gift is the meaning of life,' as Pablo Picasso once stated. 'Life is meant to be given away.' She is dedicated to making sure that seniors feel appreciated, involved, and genuinely cherished by implementing this attitude."

"Dheeraj is an 12th-grade MPC student at Resonance with a passion for web development, server management, and photography.

"As a student, Saanvi Sangam has been involved in various leadership initiatives in her school, home, and city. Other than her interest in speech and debate, she aspires to be a writer and a music artist, bringing tears and laughter to others and being a real-time problem solver in this new world of contemporaneity. She believes in these wise words, once said by Pericles, to be what keeps her moving: 'What you leave behind is not what is engraved in stone monuments, but what is woven into the lives of others.'"

"Hi!! I'm Manvitha, and I'm excited to introduce myself as a passionate individual eager to contribute to bridging generational gaps. I'm a strong communicator, team player, and quick learner. I'm drawn to Youthika's mission to foster intergenerational understanding and empathy. I believe my enthusiasm, creativity, and strong work ethic would make me a valuable asset to our team."

"Hi! I'm Tejaswi and am the logistic head at youthika! I love coming up with creative ideas and making sure everything runs smoothly behind the scenes. I believe we achieve more when we support each other. I'm eager to contribute in helping bridge the gap between generations and strengthening the bonds, making sure our support for them feels personal and meaningful. My main job is to make sure that everything needed for our events, campaigns, and daily operations runs like clockwork — from supplies to schedules to people. It's intense, but seeing the impact on the people we help? Totally worth it."

"Hey everyone! I'm Manas, the Photography Head at Youthika! My job? Capturing the smiles, stories, and unforgettable moments of the incredible elderly we work with. Every photo is a memory in the making, and I'm here to make sure their stories shine. Stay tuned for some heartwarming frames!"

"Saatvika Prasad is a dedicated member of Youthika's design team, where she uses her creativity to support the organization's initiatives. She enjoys designing visuals that help communicate ideas effectively and bring awareness to Youthika's mission of serving the elderly. Passionate about making a difference, she hopes her work can contribute to creating a more compassionate and supportive environment for the elderly in our community."

"Creativity has always been at the heart of everything I do. I'm a deep lover of art, craft, and designing. Whether it's experimenting with colors, crafting something unique, or working on intricate designs, I find joy in creating. I also have a passion for cooking, painting, reading, and writing poetry—it all lets me express myself in different ways. I love fashion and especially from the 2000s. And when I need to unwind, nothing beats a good rom-com marathon or listening to my favorite 2000s playlist (at least twice a day!). I also love dogs. Being in Youthika's design team is truly a dream come true!"

"Curious, creative, and vibrant, people often ask me how I can connect people through shared experiences. As an avid storyteller, designer, and lover of meaningful conversation, bridging the gaps between generations can bring new fresh perspectives and deeper understanding. Through this NGO, I would like to create spaces where wisdom is met by young curiosities, promoting growth, learning, and belonging for everyone involved."
