Project: CirFin
In 2021, Aaryan founded CirFin — a global initiative that educates and mobilizes youth to embrace a circular economy, prioritizing waste regeneration and material circulation. Recognizing the marginalization of under-resourced communities, Aaryan leverages fintech concepts such as blockchain and digital product passports to equip youth with the knowledge to develop equitable climate solutions. CirFin's advocacy, curriculum, events, and media have engaged over 7,250 students in 40+ countries, funding 35+ youth climate initiatives. A best-selling author ("Designing on the Brink"), climate advocate, and frequent public speaker, Aaryan plans to expand CirFin to 15,000+ students by 2026, fund 100+ more initiatives, and launch CirFin Innovations — a platform for circular economy apps developed by young innovators. He envisions CirFin as a core movement redefining how we design, consume, and circulate products to heal our planet.
