What backs it

Parag Agrawal taught his daughter Asavari five lessons about money through family choices and conversations over 17 years. Without giving her pocket money or startup funding, she built Shape the Future, an NGO that has raised Rs 2.1 lakh for children fighting cancer, established a library, and run free health and eye camps—all funded by selling her piano, redirecting gifts, and using tournament prize money.
