🚀 11-Year-Old Founder | ZOZOconnect
Most people lose business cards.
Athvik built a smarter way — a digital networking solution that saves time and trees.
"Why print thousands of cards when our phones can connect better?"
That question became ZOZOconnect — a startup born from curiosity.
What Makes Him Different
He didn't wait to "grow up."
He saw a problem, built a solution.
Learned by talking to real people — not just reading books.
