ABOUT
Early Life and Education
Ankaj Tiwari was born and brought up in Uttar Pradesh, where he laid the foundation of his academic and intellectual pursuits. He completed his 12th standard under the UP Board, demonstrating an early inclination towards analytical thinking and leadership. He then pursued his undergraduate degree, Bachelor of Computer Applications (BCA), from Lucknow University, followed by a Master of Computer Applications (MCA) from Shri Ramswaroop Memorial College of Engineering and Management in 2014—an institute currently affiliated with Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam Technical University (AKTU).
With an enduring passion for media and political communication, Mr. Tiwari further diversified his educational qualifications by obtaining a Diploma in Journalism from Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar University (BBAU). This unique blend of technical and journalistic education laid a strong foundation for his future ventures in public relations and political strategy.
Founding the 'Student Youth of India'
During his college years, Ankaj Tiwari’s leadership and social consciousness emerged vividly when he founded the organization Student Youth of India. The initiative was born out of a deep concern for justice and fairness, particularly for students facing systemic or institutional injustice. Under his leadership, the organization conducted numerous protests and awareness campaigns, earning a reputation for fearless advocacy and principled activism.
This period was instrumental in shaping Mr. Tiwari’s worldview. Although he harbored a strong interest in politics from an early age, he was unable to contest elections himself due to his family’s modest financial background. Instead, he turned this limitation into an opportunity—by empowering others and mastering the art of political strategy behind the scenes.
