About the Donor
Apurva is currently a commodities and finance professional who has made Singapore his home since 2012. As an advocate of lifelong learning, he strongly believes in the value education plays in shaping one’s life and that no one should be denied the opportunity to learn and grow, should one desire to do so. He also strongly believes in the role youths play in shaping the global future and spends a fair bit of his time mentoring young professionals wanting to make a difference. That is why in setting up this study award, he hopes that no student facing financial difficulty should be denied the opportunity to educate themselves and create an impact on the world.
