I'm Nidhi Agarwal, a banker, author, poet and philanthropist, with two Masters degrees in Mathematics. 

I was offered a full government scholarship for a PhD and had a Maths teaching job at my alma mater, St. Stephen’s College, Delhi. However, my life changed course when I also started teaching the street children that had been rehabilitated by a charity called Salaam Baalak Trust (SBT) based in Delhi, India. It became my mission to help the disadvantaged children who ended up being on the streets. In 2009, I established a UK registered charity called Friends of Salaam Baalak Trust (FoSBT). 

I have been writing blogposts since 2006 focusing on socio-political issues and believe that change should be the only constant in life. 

I've written a book called “Life Simply Moves On” about the journey of a girl from a small town in India to have a banking career in London. 

I believe in the motto that life will keep moving on no matter what the circumstances are and therefore, try to live each day to its fullest. 

I've received multiple awards for my charitable work in India and the UK as well as for being an author and poet.

I want to inspire everyone from all different backgrounds, also those living in small towns, to be unafraid of chasing their dreams. Life will simply move on, so we should live every moment consciously!
