Our Founder and President

At just 16 years old, Aneesh Reddy Addula is redefining what it means to be a young leader in sustainability, entrepreneurship, and global advocacy. A dynamic individual with an unrelenting drive to address environmental challenges, Aneesh has seamlessly blended innovation, leadership, and global outreach to build a portfolio of accomplishments that reflect his commitment to impact-driven solutions.

A Vision Sparked by Necessity

Growing up in Hyderabad, Aneesh witnessed the disappearance of lakes, increasing waste mismanagement, and the gradual degradation of ecosystems. What started as a sense of helplessness transformed into action when he founded ArforEarth, a global youth-driven NGO tackling environmental degradation head-on. Under his visionary leadership, ArforEarth now operates across five countries and has mobilized over 1,000 volunteers to participate in large-scale reforestation projects, lake restoration, and environmental education campaigns. ArforEarth has raised over $12,000 to execute sustainable solutions, partnering with organizations like UNEP to amplify its impact.

Leading Innovation and Collaboration

Aneesh’s leadership extends far beyond grassroots efforts. As the Conference Lead for Terra MUN, the world’s first sustainable Model United Nations, Aneesh created a global platform that brings together youth leaders from 10+ countries to propose actionable policies on climate justice, equitable development, and renewable energy. Terra MUN has grown to symbolize the power of youth diplomacy and collaboration, solidifying Aneesh’s role as a bridge-builderbetween local activism and global systems.

His entrepreneurial journey began with the founding of Void Luxe, a luxury sustainable fashion startup that merged sophistication with environmental responsibility. While Void Luxe served as a critical learning experience, it laid the groundwork for Aneesh’s future ventures. Building on these lessons, Aneesh established Ninuet Digital Marketing, a thriving agency generating $10,000+ in early revenue by helping brands align business growth with digital sustainability.

Recognition and Excellence

Aneesh’s achievements have earned him prestigious accolades, including the ‘Youngest Entrepreneur of the Year 2024’award and a nomination for the ‘18 Under 18’ list, which celebrates top youth changemakers. These awards are a testament to his innovation, leadership, and unwavering focus on solving pressing global challenges.

Beyond his entrepreneurial ventures, Aneesh was recognized for his technological expertise by winning Apple’s Swift Student Developer Challenge. He used coding to develop environmentally focused tech solutions, blending his programming skills with his mission for sustainability. His role as a NASA Space Settlement Contest Project Headfurther highlights his ability to approach challenges at the intersection of technology, science, and innovation.

The Future: A Global Diplomat for Change

Aneesh aspires to study International Relations with a focus on global diplomacy, sustainable development, and equitable policy-making. His goal is to lead at international negotiation tables, crafting policies that bridge gaps between nations while prioritizing the planet, people, and progress. Whether analyzing dynamic pricing models at Veda Convention or leading environmental restoration initiatives, Aneesh’s experiences reflect his systems-thinking mindset—a quality vital for tackling interconnected global challenges.

“The world’s most pressing challenges do not recognize borders, and neither do solutions. My mission is to bridge the gap between local action and global policy, ensuring progress and preservation coexist for generations to come.”

Aneesh Reddy Addula is not just a climate activist, entrepreneur, or student—he is a systems leader, unafraid to tackle the blank spaces on our global map. From founding ArforEarth to building Terra MUN and Ninuet, his work is a testament to the belief that age is no barrier to impact.
