Learning LinkedIn as a super skill | Sophomore at Northeastern University

I’m a 21-year-old entrepreneur building an AI-powered startup to fix what we are not taught.

As a student, I saw a recurring gap — students had potential, but lacked the tools, confidence, and systems to convert it into careers. So I launched Degree2Destiny to bridge the space between education and employment, blending AI with mentorship and real-world skills.

In just 8 months of full-time operations, we've impacted 3000+ students through our CAN model (Communication, AI, Networking). I’ve spoken at the Grace Hopper Celebration, mentored 30+ peers as a  teaching assistant and built workshop programs now run across India and the U.S.

My next milestone? Scale D2D to impact 1 million students, become revenue-positive by year one post-grad, and launch our digital platform to help every student build their career with AI, not just a degree.

If you care about the future of education, youth empowerment, or want to collaborate on bold ideas — I’d love to connect. Let’s reimagine what student success can look like.

Anjali Laddha

Everyone told me to drop out to be a “real” founder.

That staying in college meant I wasn’t serious.
That you can’t build something meaningful unless you burn the boats.

I didn’t buy it.

No fixed campus.
No one country.
No clean timeline.

And still, the company got built.

My version looked like this:

📍 2022 | London
First year of college. Different country. Different rules.

📍 Summer 2022 | India
Where Degree2Destiny was born.

📍 2023–2024 | Boston
Studying while building. Learning what work actually feels like.

📍 Mid-2024 | Boston + D2D
Running a company full-time while on co-op and still enrolled.

📍 Early 2025 | Back to college
Not quitting. Choosing to finish.

📍 2025 | India
8 months of family, festivals, and building in real time.

📍 Now | US → India
Final semester. Then back to India to go all in.

Yes, I missed things.
Yes, it was messy.
Yes, it was harder than “just dropping out.”

But here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Dropping out isn’t bravery.
Staying in isn’t fear.

Quitting college doesn’t automatically make you a founder.
And staying doesn’t make you any less of one.

You don’t need a dramatic exit to build something real.
You need consistency, conviction, and the ability to live in the grey.

The hybrid path exists.
It’s slower. It’s quieter. It’s real.

If you’re being told you’re “not serious enough” because you didn’t drop out,
maybe you’re just serious in a way that doesn’t trend on the internet.
