In this honest and inspiring talk, Aakash Salunkhe shares his journey from being a quiet, introverted student to finding confidence and identity through creativity. Growing up with no stage experience, no competitions, and a science background that didn’t go as planned—including academic failure—Aakash never imagined a life in content creation or acting. Yet, guided by curiosity, experimentation, and the courage to try something “out of the box,” he discovered photography, storytelling, and eventually digital platforms like YouTube and Instagram. From starting the “Eye Think” channel with friends to rebuilding from scratch after setbacks, Aakash’s story is about embracing failure, trusting small signals from within, and showing up consistently even when confidence is missing. His journey proves that you don’t need to be loud to be seen—you just need to begin. Aakash Salunkhe (known on Instagram as @aakash_itis) is a popular social media personality based in India.
