National Youth Day – Tilak Mehta

Tilak Mehta – The Youngest Face of Indian Entrepreneurship – Papers N Parcels.

On National Youth Day, students from a slum community created a stunning Rubik’s Cube mural of Tilak Mehta. While the day traditionally honors Swami Vivekananda, these youth chose Mehta to represent a modern icon of success. Tilak Mehta is one of India’s youngest and most successful entrepreneurs; he founded Papers N Parcels (PNP).

For these young creators, Tilak Mehta is a relatable hero who turned a simple idea into a logistics revolution. The mural symbolizes a shift in inspiration, highlighting that today’s youth see entrepreneurship as a path to empowerment. It stands as a powerful tribute to the idea that with a “puzzle-solving” mindset, any student can become a leader of tomorrow.
