About Me
Hi , I am Akshaan Shetty , a class 12 student from Mallya Aditi International School , Bengaluru
Hailing from a Business family, I am intensely passionate about business , economics and politics. I am a firm believer that business has a deeper purpose than just profits. I am acutely aware of the social responsibilities that a business owes to its community , country and the world. I was able to learn these invaluable principles through my internship at Shetron Limited , a leading tin packaging manufacturer as well as a project I embarked on to financially rejuvenate the family plantation. My experience in the plantation spurred a deep love for nature and the importance of conservaion.
To understand a country , one must understand economics , it was the undying love and interest I had in my country that led me to economics , after learning not just the importance of economics in my country but the world - the wars , recessions and droughts that could all be understood through economics that led me to found the school Economics Club , where I was able to share and at the same time learn from my peers and teachers.
Since the age of 5, I have been representing my school in athletics, hockey, football and cricket along with me being an avid golfer and currently pursuing karate. I am an extrovert in purest sense of the word , I look forward to meeting and building lasting friendships with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
My interest in politics has sparked an eternal love for books and knowledge. I hope to learn as much as I can , so that I can implement the knowledge I have gained for the further betterment of my country.

Financial Literacy
As a believer in free market enterprise , I dismiss all of those baseless claims and wanted to educate those who are completely ill-informed in these matters. By using the stock market and investing with discipline and intelligence , they can improve their financial standards , prepare of financially difficult times and become less prone to scams
