Our Founder and President

Aneesh Reddy, at just 16 years old, is a trailblazing entrepreneur and climate activist whose influence in the realm of sustainable business and environmental advocacy is nothing short of extraordinary. His entrepreneurial journey began with the founding of Void Luxe, a luxury sustainable clothing retailer that sought to redefine the fashion industry by integrating sophistication with environmental responsibility. Although Void Luxe is no longer in operation, it served as a critical learning experience and a stepping stone that fueled Aneesh’s future successes.

Building on the insights gained from Void Luxe, Aneesh founded ArforEarth, an international NGO that has rapidly expanded under his visionary leadership. ArforEarth now operates across four countries, with ten initiative nodes dedicated to combating climate change. Aneesh has cultivated a robust team of over 100 members and more than 1,000 volunteers globally, all united by a shared commitment to environmental sustainability. His ability to galvanize a global network and execute large-scale initiatives has positioned ArforEarth as a leading force in the fight against climate change.

Aneesh’s entrepreneurial spirit didn’t stop there. He went on to establish JOIA, a pioneering sustainable startup that has set new standards in eco-friendly living. JOIA embodies Aneesh’s innovative approach to sustainability, offering products that not only meet today’s needs but also contribute to a more sustainable future. His dual focus on environmental stewardship and cutting-edge business practices has earned JOIA a reputation as a leader in the sustainable lifestyle sector.

In recognition of his exceptional achievements, Aneesh was honored with the prestigious ‘Youngest Entrepreneur of the Year Award’ in 2024. This accolade underscores his remarkable contributions to sustainable business and his role as an inspiring leader for the next generation of entrepreneurs.

Aneesh’s leadership is further exemplified in his role as the Conference Lead for Terra MUN, the world’s first sustainable Model United Nations. He has successfully guided two editions of this groundbreaking event, establishing Terra MUN as a global platform where young leaders convene to tackle the most pressing environmental challenges. His work with Terra MUN reflects his deep commitment to empowering youth and fostering global collaboration on sustainability issues.

Aneesh Reddy’s journey from founding Void Luxe to leading ArforEarth and JOIA is a testament to his relentless dedication to sustainability, innovation, and global impact. His work continues to inspire and mobilize a new generation of leaders committed to making a difference. Aneesh’s story is not just about business success; it’s about driving meaningful change and proving that age is no barrier to leadership and influence.

Together, we are the change.
