From his humble beginnings as a young boy with a deep belief in a world of love and compassion, Nikhil’s upbringing instilled in him the value of giving back to those in need. Guided by his parents’ commitment to helping underprivileged children, he witnessed the impact of kindness and mentorship firsthand. It was a life-changing moment at an orphanage in India that ignited a fire within him and made him question his own legacy.
Driven to alleviate suffering, Nikhil pursued a career in medicine. However, a personal tragedy changed his perspective. As his mother battled terminal ovarian cancer, he realized the importance of building genuine patient connections. Focusing on the challenges faced by individuals with liver failure, addiction, and obesity, Nikhil became a trusted confidant and healer.
But Nikhil’s mission changed when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world. Witnessing the devastating impact on the obese population, he and his colleagues founded YOLO, an app that tackled childhood obesity and food insecurity. Every workout became an opportunity to donate healthy meals to underprivileged children, fostering a message of health and wellness among the youth.

Amidst personal struggles and the departure of his partners, Nikhil found himself at a crossroads. Battling addiction, he embarked on a journey of self-discovery and self-care. With the support of a compassionate community, he learned the importance of healing oneself before helping others. This experience birthed a new passion and purpose, leading to the creation of AlignUs.
