Meet Navjot Sawhney — the mind and heart behind The Washing Machine Project, a global humanitarian initiative that’s transforming how vulnerable communities handle one of the most labor-intensive daily tasks: washing clothes.

Navjot, born in London to Indian parents displaced during the 1947 Partition, was deeply shaped by stories of resilience and loss. After losing his father at age 8, he was raised by his mother and two sisters, sparking his commitment to helping women and displaced communities. With a degree in Aerospace Engineering from Queen Mary University, he began his career at Dyson before shifting to humanitarian work in South India with Engineers Without Borders. It was here he met Divya, his neighbor—whose struggle with washing clothes by hand for up to 20 hours a week left a lasting impression. Moved by her story, Navjot made a promise: he would build her a washing machine.

Back in the UK, he kept that promise by building the first hand-powered prototype. In 2019, he officially founded The Washing Machine Project, naming the machine “Divya” in her honor. That same year, he deepened his expertise by enrolling in a master's program in Humanitarianism, Conflict, and Development at the University of Bath.

Since its inspection, over 650 Divya Washing Machines have been distributed, reaching 46,840 people across India, Iraq, Lebanon, the U.S., Mexico, and Uganda. Designed through research in 13 countries and over 3,000 family interviews, the machines are built to fit local needs and reduce the burden of handwashing, especially for women and girls. The Washing Machine Project also provides user training, maintenance support, and grants to help communities generate income and sustain long-term use.

The Washing Machine Project has secured support from key partners like RS Group, Jaguar Land Rover, Santander, Meanwell, and the Whirlpool Foundation, as well as major humanitarian groups such as UNHCR, Save The Children, Oxfam, Care International, and Plan International.

In March 2024, Navjot returned to South India with the Whirlpool Foundation to personally deliver machines to Divya and her community, fulfilling his heartfelt promise. The project keeps growing with a strong focus on creating sustainable, innovative solutions for displaced and remote communities across the globe.

Meet Yuvrraj Singh Sethi, a motorsport prodigy whose love for cars ignited long before he ever put on a racing suit. Breaking new ground as first Sikh professional kart racer, Yuvrraj is setting a powerful example of chasing dreams with relentless grit and determination. As a young child, he was obsessed with Formula 1 races and car videos. His professional journey started at the age of 12, racing rental karts on tracks around Delhi NCR just for fun with friends. But everything changed when a professional racing driver spotted his raw talent during a casual karting session and encouraged him to race in the R3 Talent Scouting Championship—happening the very next day.

Despite having no formal training or professional experience, Yuvrraj competed against seasoned racers and finished in the top 5 out of 50–60 participants. His natural skill earned him a spot in the Singapore Level 1 International Training Program and the prestigious Dubai Karting Endurance International Championship. That race wasn’t just a competition—it was the launchpad for his racing career.

Since then, Yuvrraj has consistently pushed his limits. He is a proud Mobil 1 Powered Driver, and has won the 24 Hours Endurance International UAE Championship in the Corporate category. Racing with his team, Red Rabbit Racers, he also earned 2nd place while representing India on the international stage. His training spans internationally renowned karting programs in Singapore, Malaysia, and with Italy’s elite Birel Art team. He continues to compete in high-stakes events such as the Rotax Max Indian Nationals and the Karting Meritus Cup, going head-to-head with some of the most seasoned racers in the country. Yuvrraj has also expanded into formula racing, completing multiple training sessions and events in Formula 4 LGB1300 cars.

Looking to the future, Yuvrraj has his sights set on the F4 League and dreams of representing Identity globally. Every lap he completes is not just a step toward victory, but a statement of passion, purpose, and cultural pride. In a sport where representation is rare, Yuvrraj Singh Sethi is a trailblazer—driving change, and driving fast.

Meet Teghbir Singh, the young mountaineering prodigy who made global history on 28th June 2025 by becoming the youngest person in the world to scale Mount Elbrus (5,642 metres), the highest peak in Europe. This incredible achievement was preceded by two other record-breaking climbs. On 23rd August 2024, at just 5 years old, Teghbir became the youngest Asian to summit Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 metres), the tallest mountain in Africa. Earlier that year, on 17th April 2024, he reached the Mount Everest Base Camp (5,364 metres), making him the youngest mountaineer from Punjab and the second youngest in India to accomplish this feat.

Teghbir’s journey began in the serene embrace of the Shiwalik hills surrounding his hometown. Regular weekend treks with his father and family eventually evolved into serious training when S. Bikramjit Singh Ghumman, a retired Handball Coach, recognized the child’s unique physical and mental stamina. Under his guidance, Teghbir underwent daily training sessions of over 2 hours, developing the foundation required for high-altitude endurance.

What makes Teghbir truly exceptional is not just his physical capability, but his unwavering spirit. A naturally energetic and restless child, his enthusiasm for movement, exploration, and challenge formed the core of his mental preparation. As his body grew stronger, his mind adapted to the discipline and resilience demanded by mountaineering.

During expeditions, moments of emotional homesickness would arise — but they were overcome through stories of valor, especially the Sakhis of Sahibzade, Bhai Bachittar Singh (his personal hero), and Bhai Uday Singh. These tales of courage and devotion, shared by his parents and mentors, reignited his resolve every time.

Teghbir Singh’s extraordinary feats have earned him several prestigious honors. He received the State Award from the Chief Minister of Punjab on 15th August 2025, and was recognised by the Mountaineering Federation of Kabardino-Balkarian Republic with the Youngest Summiteer Certificate for his Mount Elbrus climb. He was also awarded by the Indian Minorities Foundation and the Conservation Commissioner of Kilimanjaro National Park. His record-setting treks to Everest Base Camp and Mount Kilimanjaro in the same year secured his place in the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records. Additionally, he was honoured by the District Administration of Rupnagar on Independence Day 2024.

Meet Sutej singh, the man who has carved out a distinct identity in the instrumental rock world, earning global recognition for his expressive playing and cinematic compositions. His music speaks where words fall short, every note crafted with intent, every phrase soaked in emotion.

Sutej’s journey into music began during his school years in India, sparked by a chance encounter with a friend playing “Hotel California.” That moment lit a fire within him, leading to his first acoustic guitar—a gift from his father. What began as curiosity soon transformed into an all-consuming passion. Over time, the guitar evolved from a mere instrument into his voice, his escape, and the foundation of his creative identity.

Drawn to the boundless nature of instrumental music, Sutej Singh embraced a style unconfined by genre labels. While his roots lie in rock and metal, he prefers to describe his work simply as “music”—a reflection of his commitment to pure expression rather than stylistic categorization. Like many guitarists, Sutej started by covering iconic tracks, dedicating long hours to mastering technique. However, his true growth came when he began focusing on tone, phrasing, and emotional delivery. Influenced by guitar legends like David Gilmour and John Petrucci, he developed a style where melody reigns supreme.

His debut album, The Emerging, marked a significant turning point. Initially released without expectations, the album gained unexpected global traction, providing him with a strong foundation and an international fanbase. Since then, his presence has grown exponentially, bolstered by a dedicated online following and viral success across social media platforms.

Both of his albums—The Emerging and Restless | Relentless—represent personal milestones. Tracks like Oceans Apart, his very first composition, have resonated with listeners worldwide. His latest work also explores new territories, including vocals. The song Kaamdambari, featuring renowned vocalist Nandini Srikar, showcases his willingness to experiment and expand his musical horizons. Another fan-favorite, Mayflower, generated buzz even before its official release.

One of the most defining moments in Sutej’s career so far has been opening for legendary guitarist Steve Vai—an honor that placed him on a global stage and reinforced his role as a rising voice in instrumental rock from India. Despite his achievements, Sutej views his career as just beginning. With new music in constant development, he continues to push his boundaries as a composer, exploring fresh genres and collaborations. For him, music is a never-ending journey of growth and discovery.

Focus is a magnet. What you dwell on eventually dominates.

Meet Teja Singh, a standout talent whose powerful mix of athleticism, game intelligence, and tireless dedication has made waves throughout the basketball world, drawing the eyes of fans, scouts, and experts alike. Teja is recently graduated NCAA basketball player from Hamilton College, now chasing his dream of playing professionally, and recently played in the world’s famous Drew League, a summer league in LA that many standout stars such as Lebron James have played in.

Over four standout years, Teja became a 2x captain, 3x All-Conference player, scored 1,000+ career points, ranked #5 all-time in 3-pointers at his school, and helped lead Hamilton to its first league championship and two national tournament appearances.

For Teja, basketball and Sikhi are inseparable. His dastar and Sikh values fuel his drive to excel and represent the community at the highest level. A lifelong student of Gurbani Sangeet, he’s trained in vocals since childhood and now is learning to play the Dilruba. His music resonates deeply with his spirituality, often having deeper importance to him than even basketball, and establishes the calmness and creativity that he brings to the court.

Arriving at Hamilton as the only Sikh on campus, Teja faced the challenge of being without Sangat in a rural environment. Although he struggled, he had the love and support of his team, family, and nearby friends, and was constantly reminded of the famous Sikh saying, Sava Lakh, which he decided he would try to live by inside and out. At Hamilton, he organized two Kirtans on campus, and packed home and away games with Sikhs from surrounding areas. That presence left a lasting mark, inspiring Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike.

His basketball journey began early, shaped by his father’s example, fierce one-on-one battles with his brother, and his mother constantly pushing him. Moving to Seattle at age 7, he joined one of the nation’s top youth programs, competing against elite talent and learning what it takes to reach the next level.

Now, after years of relentless work and skill development, Teja knows he’s only scratched the surface of his potential, and the next chapter is just beginning.

Meet Manpreet Kaur, a passionate custodian of Phulkari, the traditional Punjabi embroidery that tells stories through vibrant threads. Rooted in a family tradition passed down through three generations, Manpreet has transformed this heritage craft into a thriving enterprise with the launch of Parveen Phulkari House in 2015. Her work goes beyond artistry—she empowers rural women and shares the beauty of Phulkari with an international audience, ensuring that this cultural treasure continues to inspire and flourish across the globe.

Amid the rise of mass-produced, machine-made alternatives, Manpreet recognized the threat to handmade Phulkari—an art form that demands both time and precision to create vibrant floral and geometric patterns. Living in Patti, a region with limited job opportunities and meager wages (₹3,000–4,000 per month), she transformed her creative skills into a livelihood model that now sustains over 250 rural women in Tarn Taran district.

Many of these women—homemakers or those restricted by cultural norms from working outside—now earn independently by embroidering Phulkari from their homes. Manpreet personally distributes materials to these artisans, breaking mobility barriers and creating a decentralized production model that empowers women on their own terms.

Through workshops held in universities and schools, both in India and abroad, Parveen Phulkari House not only trains individuals in this heritage craft but also instills pride in Punjab’s cultural identity. These sessions promote economic independence while safeguarding a fading tradition.

Renowned for her dedication to preserving and modernizing Phulkari embroidery, Manpreet Kaur has received the esteemed Sirjanhaari State Award and serves as the Brand Ambassador of Tarn Taran District. Her work, celebrated internationally through platforms like the GRID Heritage Project and exhibitions at SOAS University of London, has brought Phulkari to nine countries, empowering rural women and promoting cultural heritage. By adapting traditional designs—such as creating lightweight dupattas to complement modern styles—she successfully connects this rich art form with today’s global audience.

Back home, Manpreet ensures the tradition endures by mentoring college students and offering internships. Her message to the youth is clear: heritage can be a source of both pride and economic opportunity. In doing so, she is not only preserving a cultural treasure but transforming it into a tool of empowerment and identity.
