Kerala-based entrepreneur shares the 30 under 30 Forbes' list.

"Most of the 30 under 30 awards are for potential. So, they expect us to do these incredible things in future. Now I relate to this saying 'From those to whom much is given, much is expected'. So, there's a lot left to be done now," Ashwin Sreenivas, a Kerala-based 26-year-old entrepreneur who made it to the prestigious Forbes' annual 30 under 30 list said.

His 2019 startup, Helia, that he co-founded immediately after his post-graduation would sell software to enterprise security teams.

In 2021, he laid foundations to another AI platform called Campfire, a platform that uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to help companies build communities. He mentions that, for any company to flourish, it's important to understand the people of the community.

This student of Stanford University with immense zeal to take up new challenges in life is definitely worth sharing the Forbes' list.
