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 projects like his mentored research study with CreatED, where he explored the use of AI and artificial cells to predict growth, as well as an extensive involvement 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 Deputy Head of his school’s Model United Nations. 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.
