Aditya Borele is a student at Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai where he is currently pursuing subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, and Geography as part of his IBDP curriculum. 

His curiosity for science and technology has taken shape through summer school engagements like his participation in Stanford's ULO Math and Physics programs, as well as University of California, Berkeley’s online Calculus 1 course. Aditya also thoroughly enjoys research as is evident through his published paper on exploring the use of AI and artificial cells to predict growth, and another paper on mathematical modeling of waste flow in closed-loop manufacturing systems.  

He is also extensively involved in robotics. As co-captain and later core team member in international competitions like FTC and FRC, he has led fundraising, robot construction, and strategy efforts, achieving accolades across Asia, Turkey, and the United States. 

Beyond this, Aditya enjoys playing basketball, experimenting with videography, and serves as both the House Sports Captain and Head of Videography for his school’s annual Model United Nations conference. 

It is his passion for science, creativity and advocacy that drove him to develop Guardians of the Tansa Valley; so as to bring more people together into fighting for something as essential at the time as ecological conservation. He hopes for his project to serve as a reminder that true guardianship lies not in isolated efforts, but in the group responsibility to safeguard our shared environment.
