I am Ansita Shukla in grade 10 and today I'll just be sharing my experience and my Girlpreneurial journey with you all.
At first it felt like stepping into a new universe filled with energy, creativity and people who believed in the power of a girl's voice.
I met some truly incredible mentors - people who were not only brilliant in their fields but deeply human in their hearts.
Vadim Kotelnikov was the first to completely change the way I looked at ideas.
He didn't speak like a textbook, he spoke like a storyteller, an innovator, a cheerleader. He made entrepreneurship feel like play.
And one thing I would like to share with you is that one day while randomly scrolling through LinkedIn, a platform I had only recently started using, I came across a familiar name, Vadim Kotelnikov sir. Yes, the same inspiring speaker from the other sessions.
I was still confused if I should connect or not, I was just a grade 8 student back then. I clicked "Connect" and to my surprise and absolute joy he accepted it.
That one click opened the whole new chapter in my life.
Gradually, Vadim sir started mentoring me - not in a formal way but in the most human and generous way possible.
He would respond to my messages with insights, share inspiring posts and somewhere in between those little interactions, he became one of the most important mentors in my life.
Whether I was struggling with my elevator pitch, unsure how to write a clear essay or just feeling stuck, he always had a word of wisdom.
And perhaps the most beautiful thing he did was this: he reminded me of my talents. He told me not to forget the little hobbies I had, the spark I carried, the small things that made me Me.
So this is to everyone listening here today, if there is one piece of advice, I would love to give you, it's this: get on LinkedIn, seriously. It's not just an app, it's a place where your future can begin. You don't have to be a graduate or a professional to be there. You just need to be curious, be bold, start by following people who inspire you. And if you do, you must follow Vadim sir. He's the founder of Inompec Planet of Loving Creators, a community that celebrates innovation, empathy and joy.
