Manas Sood receiving recognition for TaxCity Education

Over three years, we distributed 7,350+ game kits to students across every Indian state and 27 countries. Revenue from the game supports women weaver collectives in Punjab.

We partnered with the University of Delhi, USC, UCLA, Dartmouth, and the IITs. I gave a TEDx talk on financial literacy, keynoted the TETR Disrupt Global Entrepreneurship Challenge in Dubai, and led a 10-person Indian delegation to the Global Youth Summit 2025 in Kathmandu. Five Union Ministries commended the work.

DocsDocs

DocsDocs handles insurance and billing for dental groups and independent practices. We check eligibility, file claims, post payments, and follow up on denials.

We work with DSOs, OSOs, and independent dental practices. Each team decides who handles each task, when claims need review, and how work passes between offices. They can review open work by office and payer.

Nivaran

I built Nivaran to help underserved neighbourhoods reduce urban heat. The web app connects residents with cooling infrastructure and services. I trained and employed 22 student volunteers, who carried out more than 60 heat inspections.

Over 60% of participants stayed engaged beyond incentives, and several institutions adopted our checklist campus-wide. The work has been recognised by scholars at MIT, Princeton, the University of Chicago and the University of Delhi.
