(July 17, 2023)\u00a0<\/strong>How many 22-year-olds can claim to have helped implement policy changes in their universities and local communities? For Aurangabad-born Jash Kalyani this is a reality that he embraced early in university career. Now a senior analyst in the product management division at Royal Bank of Canada, Jash continues to further his dream that was born out of a passion for promoting culture, community and a sense of inclusivity. From helping his Canadian alma maters Huron University and Ivey Business School institute policy changes to encourage EDI on campus, to collaborating with the city council for the City of London as a community connector, and publishing case studies on the subject, Jash is intent on being a change agent.<\/p>\n

Born in Aurangabad, Jash, an only child, lost his father when he was 9. Raised by his mother and grandparents, the lad found himself wanting to achieve something from an early age. \u201cI was never given a path as such, but my mother and grandparents were confident in my abilities. My mother was convinced that I\u2019d do well in whatever I chose. That worked well in my favour as it boosted my confidence levels,\u201d says Jash, who moved to Dubai after his class X to join his mother. \u201cShe was already working in Dubai at the time and I decided to pursue my A levels there.\u201d<\/p>\n
