I’m Animesh Jhawar, a 2024 B.Tech graduate from IIT Delhi, majoring in Electrical Engineering with a minor in Business Management. As a Fellow at the Indian Network for Impact (INI), I am deeply committed to creating real-world change.
Witnessing the healthcare challenges faced by small pharmacies and rural areas, I recognized the urgent need for simple, effective solutions. MediTally is my effort to solve stock visibility problems for small and peri-urban pharmacies in India.
Through rigorous research and hands-on pilot programs, I strive to build accessible tools that empower pharmacy owners and improve healthcare delivery.
Driving community-led solutions across health, education & livelihoods
This project was supported under the INI Fellowship 2025, a flagship program by India Network for Impact that empowers young changemakers to work hands-on with local communities and co-create impactful solutions.
Working with INI helped me translate field insights into meaningful action, and grounded my learning in real-world challenges. It shaped not just the direction of my project, but also my understanding of empathy-led design and system-level impact.
