Manmeet Singh Dhaliwal is a Grade 12 student at Pathways World School, Aravali, where he explores his interests in economics and social sciences in the classroom and constantly seeks to translate the lessons he learns to foster real-time change through his work outside the classroom. 

In 2026, he completed the Harvard Secondary School Program course in Urban Economics and has written a research paper on real estate prices and inflation, channels that directly informed his founding of The Urban Connect to support underserved peri-urban communities. At school, Manmeet serves as Boarding President, representing over 500 boarding peers. A recipient of the Honor Roll, Manmeet, apart from sharpening his academic interests, diligently works towards mastering the art of public speaking as a member of the school debating club. When not researching and reading more about topics that fascinate him, Manmeet can be found playing basketball, holding a key role in the school team. He is also a young thespian who has found a creative outlet to express himself using the theatre, constantly taking up new roles and playing them to perfection.
