A dynamic leader with a deep understanding of Gen Z and millennial communities, Jeel is set to drive the next phase of Under 25’s growth.
Since joining the company, Jeel has been instrumental in driving scale and cultural relevance. Under her leadership, Under 25 has hosted 100 Summits at Campus (SACs), built presence in over 30 cities, and directly impacted 1.5 lakh students. Its digital footprint has exploded — crossing 300 million views and over 500,000 app downloads.

As we move forward, our focus will remain on scaling our impact, amplifying student voices, and creating transformative experiences that truly get India’s youth ready for life. That means building skills, confidence, exposure, and real-world readiness—far beyond what classrooms typically offer.”
Her appointment comes at a defining moment in Under 25’s journey, as it continues to scale its platform and community impact.
Speaking on the appointment, Vijay Subramaniam, Founder and Group CEO, Collective Artists Network, said, “Under 25 is a trailblazer in the youth space, and Jeel’s leadership has been instrumental in pushing its boundaries further. As we continue to grow Under 25 into the larger Collective ecosystem, her vision and drive will be key to unlocking new avenues of impact. I’m excited to see this next phase of growth under her leadership.”
Under 25 is a place for the youth of India to earn, learn, build and grow. With this new chapter, the platform is set to redefine what it means to ‘Get Ready for Life’, providing students with the experiences, skills, and networks they need to step confidently into their future. The journey has only just begun.
