Pranjali Awasthi, a 16-year-old Indian tech prodigy, founded Delv.Al in January 2022, raising Rs 3.7 crore in investments and building a team of 10. Her AI startup focuses on simplifying academic data access using advanced AI for extraction and summarization.
With support from accelerator programs like On Deck and Village Global, Delv.Al raised $450,000, reaching a $12 million valuation. Pranjali is hands-on in coding, operations, and customer service, inspired by her father's entrepreneurial journey.
Her tech passion ignited at age 11, and by 13, she was interning at Florida International University while developing Delv.Al. The COVID-19 pandemic and ChatGPT-3 spurred her AI ambitions.
Pranjali’s dedication was showcased in an AI accelerator in Miami, where she paused high school to pursue her venture. Her successful Delv.Al launch on Product Hunt cemented her path. Despite India’s education focus, Pranjali deferred college to grow her AI business, planning to return for business studies.
Her achievements at such a young age serve as a powerful inspiration, proving that innovation knows no age limit.
