A student with a big idea and a father with the experience to build it — the people behind AI Yuva.

Our founders

A young idea, backed by real-world experience

AI Yuva is a father-and-son venture from Lucknow — a student's fresh view of how technology should work, guided by years of experience building and running businesses.

Founder & Idea Creator
Student, Class 8CMS, Lucknow

AI Yuva began as Shashwat's idea. Growing up with smartphones and AI tools, he noticed something most product teams miss: the apps and chatbots that seem simple in big cities often confuse everyday users who speak Hinglish, use budget phones and are new to digital services.

His question was simple — why don't companies test their products with the people who will actually use them? That question became AI Yuva: a way for real people across Bharat to shape the technology built for them, and earn while doing it.

Shashwat continues to shape the product vision, the tester experience and the way AI Yuva speaks to young, first-time internet users.

Father of Shashwat RajBusiness & expansion

Anurag turns Shashwat's idea into a working business. An entrepreneur from Lucknow with experience running projects and building ventures, he leads AI Yuva's business plan, operations, partnerships and compliance.

He brings the practical side that a new company needs — pricing, contracts, GST and payments, building the tester network across Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, and planning AI Yuva's expansion to new states and languages.

His role is to support and guide, so the vision stays Shashwat's while the business grows on strong, sustainable foundations.

How it started

From a question at home to a company in Lucknow

1

The idea

Shashwat asked why apps and AI tools are rarely tested with the everyday people who use them across Bharat.

2

The plan

Together they shaped the idea into a business: real testers in Tier-2 and Tier-3 towns, AI to speed up the analysis, and fair pay for every tester.

3

The launch

AI Yuva opened in Lucknow, starting with testers from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar and services for D2C brands and AI products.

4

What's next

More states, more Indian languages, and home-use tests for physical products.
