Growing up in a reputed Chettinad family, I was blessed with a childhood filled with wisdom and values. My father’s words, “If you can make one rupee on your own, you can make crores,” and his lessons in self-reliance, integrity, and innovation have always stayed with me. These principles became the foundation of my journey as an educationalist, adventurist, and entrepreneur. Years later, I realized how few young minds were equipped to think independently or create value from scratch. This sparked a dream in me—to nurture young minds, to teach them how to think, create, and thrive in the real world. And so, ArtOn was born, a platform for children under 18 to explore their artistic talents, learn entrepreneurial skills, and grow into confident, compassionate leaders.

ArtOn, meaning 18, is more than just a platform; it’s a movement to empower the next generation. My vision is to create a space where children can showcase their art, learn from their peers, and experience the joy of earning through their creativity. But it doesn’t stop there. I want ArtOn to be a bridge between school students and children with disabilities, fostering friendships, kindness, and empathy. My ultimate goal is to see every child grow into an independent, innovative, and compassionate individual, ready to face the world’s challenges with confidence. Together, let’s inspire young minds to dream big, create fearlessly, and make a difference—one artwork, one rupee, and one friendship at a time
