Art For A Cause: This visionary entrepreneur’s journey of uplifting the lives of marginalized communities is indeed a work of art!

Art For A Cause

“Philanthropy is not about money. It’s about using whatever resources you have at your fingertips and applying them to improve the world!” – Melinda Gates.

Art For A Cause is a company that promotes the artistic talents of creative young minds. The main purpose of the company is to sell different types of artworks, and with the profit they help low-income students. All products are sustainable and the company believes in zero waste. They’re also a very socially conscious brand.

The leader. The visionary. The savant.

Anshu Malika Roja Selvamani founded Art For A Cause at the age of 16. She is currently studying in the 12th grade. She is extraordinarily great in her academics, and has always scored in the nineties. She has a 10.0 GPA. She is a teenager who is extremely ambitious. She is an entrepreneur, social worker, student and ambassador, content creator, author, YouTuber and a lot more.

She started coding when she was 7. That’s where her journey started. When she was 12, she developed her first app. She realized some real world problems can be solved with code. That’s when she built apps on Road Safety and won the Most Innovative Hack from IIT, Hyderabad. That award built some confidence in her that she really did have an exceptional ability to code. Since then, she has built many more apps like an interactive learning app for universal access to education.

At the age of 17, she published her first book “The Flame In My Heart”. She runs two organisations and also a mental health page. Regardless, Art For A Cause is still the most important part of her life. Anshu wanted to start her own company and be a businesswoman since 8th grade. She took after-school business classes to grasp business knowledge. She was good at art, so she thought about starting a social entrepreneurship company with art at its core.

Art For A Cause is registered under the Government of India. Anshu’s parents were very supportive and since she started this company at the age of 16, she needed some help with money handling. She was earning a huge amount from the orders and she didn’t know how to handle it at the beginning but her parents guided her towards the right path.
