Hi, I’m Palak Tiwari, the Founder and CEO of Aurora. Growing up as the eldest daughter, I often felt the pressure of expectations and the isolation of not having role models who looked like me or experiences I could relate to. I wished there were spaces where young women could learn from one another, find a mentor, provide mentorship, share their journeys, and feel less alone in navigating leadership and confidence.
I started Aurora to create that very space, a nonprofit dedicated to amplifying women’s voices and building a supportive community. My goal is to ensure no girl feels isolated and that every young woman has the stories, tools, and encouragement she needs to rise, lead, and thrive.
