The Soul behind the Science

Shubham Kalmegh

Ever since I was a kid, I've been fascinated by science and technology. I've always loved exploring and learning about these subjects, and my curiosity has only grown stronger over time.

Along this journey, I discovered that science and technology are far more than just subjects; they're powerful forces shaping humanity and our world today, even more so than Religions or Countries.

"Collective Intelligence is something I firmly believe in."

But the more I investigated, the clearer it became: every technological revolution, while groundbreaking, has also widened the gap of inequality. Technology plays a big role in these staggering numbers of inequalities.

I once faced a near-death moment. And my biggest regret? I had always dreamed of spreading my findings and thoughts, but I didn't fully grasp the urgency. It hit me then: if I hadn't survived, all my dreams and work would have died with me.

It was a wake-up call to share, and not just to explore. This is an effort towards Cultivating Curiosity, Fostering Inclusion. And you know the best part, next time I will die with these efforts.
