Swapnil Nelapati is a visionary young entrepreneur from Hyderabad, India, known for his deep curiosity, bold thinking, and relentless drive to solve real-world problems using technology. At just 17, Swapnil has demonstrated a maturity and foresight well beyond his years, combining ground-level empathy with a future-focused mindset to build meaningful impact through innovation.
What sets Swapnil apart is not just his age, but his clarity of purpose and hands-on approach to building. He operates at the intersection of technology, social impact, and systems thinking — identifying invisible gaps that affect millions and daring to reimagine how things should work.
