Aaryan leverages innovation and education to champion a circular economy.
Through his organization, CirFin, Aaryan has launched initiatives like the Earth Day Everyday podcast and a global creativity challenge that funded 36 youth climate projects.
Aaryan’s goal is to raise awareness and to surface circular solutions that have worked in the real world. His book, Designing on the Brink, explores product redesigns for sustainability, and he continues to advocate for transitioning to circular economic models.
A classical guitar player, Aaryan’s passions extend to public speaking, writing, and mentoring young changemakers. He is also active in his community raising awareness about bike safety and volunteering at community events promoting walking and biking.
“We have the ability to alter the course of our planet, but only if we resonate with the stories of those who have been impacted,” Aaryan encourages.
