Builder, writer & speaker

I'm Ananya, a 17-year-old in Austin. I build things about money, neighbors, and what it means to think for yourself in the age of AI. I'm slow on purpose: I'll spend four hours choosing a shade of white, and weeks knitting a gift. That same patience is how I build.

Presented at / worked with

Cosmos Institute · Level · Founders Weekend · Alpha School

Featured work

The four projects I’m proudest of

Cover of The Glimmer Globe, by Adithi Alluri and Ananya Kakarlapudi: a fox and a sparrow look up at a glowing globe in a village square.
Plenty

Wealth-building lessons for middle schoolers. 20 schools, 7,000+ students, a #1 bestselling kids' book.

Now

Right now I'm growing Plenty, building at Level, finishing senior year at Alpha, and knitting doll #38.
