What is Alekhni?
Meet Our Team
Yamun Sharma
Founder, Writer & Contributor
A high-spirited Humanities student, studying at the Charles University in Prague, Yamun came up with the idea of Alekhni on a train to Vienna.
As a motivated young student coming from a community with little respect for humanities, it was a rather very bold decision for him to drop out of a Biotechnology course to pursue the humanities.
At first, it wasn’t easy. But with time, Yamun’s passion for the humanities grew stronger. He found himself not only learning about the world around him but also gaining a deeper understanding of himself and his place in it.
So, he embarked on a mission to share his story, his passion, and the transformative power of the humanities with others, hoping to ignite the same curiosity and enthusiasm in their hearts.

Pintu is a passionate student from Bengaluru, pursuing animation. He went against the social norms in his community to do something unconventional.
Ditching a degree in business and finance to enter his dream of cartoons and characters, Pintu has been living a life many miss out on.
He is an easy-going youngster, who lives by the ideology to live in the moment with all his emotions and feelings.
Being passionate about creating the human connection through his cartoons, Pintu enjoys being part of our mission to create a one-stop paradise for humanities and social sciences. He adds up to the voice of Alekhni with his creative cartoons and animations.
