Hyderabad Students Launch Genspark — Empowering Young Minds Like Never Before

Two senior-year students, Aayush Jain and Gaddam Nikhilesh, have founded Genspark, a student-led organization that aims to create meaningful change for young adults — focusing on areas often overlooked by mainstream initiatives, such as mental health, confidence-building, fitness, leadership, and creativity.

Genspark’s mission is to empower youth by providing opportunities for growth, skill development, and community engagement, helping them prepare for the real-world challenges ahead. The founders envision a space where young people can express themselves freely, learn collaboratively, and develop both personally and professionally.

The organization recently held its third online event, “ComicPrix,” following the success of its previous events — a Model United Nations (MUN) and a mental health awareness session featuring guest speakers from the field.

ComicPrix, led by Revant Bhatt (member of genspark) and Karan Dwivedi (COO, GenSpark), encouraged young artists to create original comics without limitations, celebrating imagination and artistic freedom. The event featured two categories — handmade and digital — and received enthusiastic participation from students across the country.

Winners were awarded cash prizes of up to ₹1,000, with Madhivarman, an 11th-grade student and budding artist, securing first place. Payal Kumari and Tavisha Goel earned second and third positions respectively, showcasing the diverse talent among young creators.

With its growing community and innovative initiatives, Genspark stands out as a youth-driven platform redefining how young adults connect, create, and contribute to positive change.
