Founder’s Blog & Events
Gridless is a curriculum I have put my heart, time, and thought into, because I genuinely believe what I am building is the future of education.
This is my blog, a place where you can follow my honest entrepreneurial journey, and truly understand the roots of what we do, why we do it, and who I am.

Workshop at Southbank
April 22, 2026
Yesterday, I ran a workshop for my business, Gridless, atSouthbank International School.
This workshop was a condensed version of the first week of our Entrepreneurship Programme, hosted at The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE). Students explored how to turn everyday problems into business ideas, learned the fundamentals of pitching, and were introduced to the principles of investing.
Despite the complexity of these topics, every student was fully engaged and truly thinking like entrepreneurs.
It was so rewarding, not only seeing the model I have spent months designing, testing, and refining actually work…But also seeing kids as little as 9 years old, imagining how current innovations can be leveraged to solve problems, and backing their ideas with confidence.
Listening to their so many brilliant ideas made me think how kids are often the best candidates for entrepreneurs, as they naturally think laterally and without limit. But this is not capitalised on to the extent it should be. Whilst we need the integral knowledge school provides, we also need a better transition to using it effectively in the fast changing world.
AI has sharpened this need. What happens to kids when AI can answer every question faster and better than they can?
It's no longer about choosing between being an "intellectual" or an "entrepreneur". The future demands both. It demands people who can think laterally - and then act on it. This is the gap I want to fill.

Busking in Leicester Square
April 18, 2026
I took a microphone, a speaker, and two members of my team to Leicester Square to get members of the public engaged in Gridless.
Here is an unfiltered view of what this looked like:
Performing and public speaking since a young age, I thought, ‘this will be a piece of cake!’ But I was not quite prepared for what busking actually feels like. There were crowds of people and I was standing in the middle of them talking about something I have poured everything into.
I soon realised I was not on a stage. There was no audience who had chosen to be there. We spent the better part of the morning adjusting, trialing different approaches, and attempting to retain hope. Until at Leicester Square, when a group of teenagers stopped and played the Gridless investing game.
I cannot fully explain what happened in that moment except to say that I found my groove again. We started pulling in more groups: 10 year olds, adults, tourists passing through. And every single time, without exception, once someone actually played the game, they were in. Fully engaged, asking questions, and not wanting to leave.
I am proud to say that a day meant only for brand awareness and content, turned into me walking home with new clients. I am a student founder. I do not have a large corporate team or a large budget. What I have is a programme I believe in.
Days like this remind me that Gridless works, revolutionises the outdated, and is in major demand.

The Launch
March 26, 2026
On Thursday, I officially launched Gridless.
For the past few months, I have been quietly working on building Gridless from the ground up. It started with an idea that I truly believe in. A concept I am confident that is innovative, scalable, and necessary for our AI powered generation. But what followed, is the realisation that a good idea only goes so far.
I have had to learn how to build websites, manage accounts, cover insurance and DBS, negotiate, gather a team, market myself, and countless other skills.
I have also had to manage rejection, no replies, the imposter syndrome of persuading people to buy into a 19 year old, days where I felt deflated and others where everything worked out at the last second of uncertainty. It is harder than imagined to stay resilient through the inevitable ups and downs of entrepreneurship.
On the day, I took a risk I almost didn’t go through with. I hosted a Gridless investing game for 28 adults and kids, compressing what should have been a 3.5-hour session into 20 minutes. I thought this could authentically demonstrate how powerful Gridless is.
In hindsight, I am proud to have trusted myself because it was a major success, with 86% of families committing to Gridless, and all expressing further interest. I suppose THIS is where a good idea can take you - a place of inner confidence to make bold decisions.
