Two young visionaries, Veer (Year 7) and Mehar (Year 5), have recently captured the spotlight in the Next Gen Awards, making it to the top 10 with their inspiring project, Deep Dive for You. Last week, the talented siblings attended the WA Pitching Showcase, presenting their remarkable efforts to empower students through career exploration to industry leaders.
Deep Dive for You is a platform where Veer and Mehar interview accomplished professionals from a wide array of fields—ranging from politics and computer science to education and business. Through each conversation, they delve into the unique experiences, challenges, and successes that define each career, aiming to offer young people practical insights into what it takes to excel in various industries. Their project has quickly gained attention for its innovative approach, blending relatable storytelling with valuable advice from real-world experts.
The idea behind Deep Dive for You stems from the duo’s curiosity about career paths and the realities of working life. They noticed that many students struggle to visualise their future careers or lack a clear understanding of what certain professions entail. To bridge this gap, they sought to create an accessible platform that sheds light on a range of professions, going beyond typical career advice to explore the real-life journeys of successful individuals.
Veer and Mehar come from a family that fosters innovation, which they say has been a tremendous source of inspiration and support. Their platform has already featured interviews with figures like university professors, educators, and a Member of Parliament, each contributing unique perspectives on success. As Veer explains, "We wanted to show young people that success isn't just about grades or a set path—it’s about passion, resilience, and finding the right fit for yourself."
Through Deep Dive for You, Veer and Mehar aim to reach an even wider audience, expanding their content to include more diverse voices and insights. In the future, they envision the platform evolving into a space where young people can connect and share their own interviews with professionals they admire. “We want students everywhere to feel inspired to explore their options and understand the realities of the careers they’re interested in,” Mehar shared.
Making it to the top 10 in the Next Gen Awards is a testament to Veer and Mehar’s dedication and creativity. Their success is not only a proud moment for them but also an inspiration to countless other young people who dream of making a difference. Veer and Mehar attended the WA Pitching Showcase event last week, where they delivered a powerful pitch about Deep Dive for You to an audience of industry and community leaders. As these young innovators continue to grow their platform, their work promises to be a lasting resource for students worldwide, helping them chart their own paths to success.
