Harshita Arora left school when she was only 15. What many saw as a risky decision became the starting point of her entrepreneurial journey.
At 16, Arora created a cryptocurrency portfolio app. The app gained popularity in the US and Canada before being acquired.
Arora later co-founded AtoB with Vignan Velivela and Tushar Misra. Their first business idea failed, prompting the team to rethink its approach. The founders spoke directly with truck drivers to understand their biggest problems. Their feedback helped the team rebuild AtoB around practical needs in the trucking industry. AtoB grew into a fintech platform serving more than 30,000 trucking fleets across the US.
The company attracted major attention in the startup ecosystem. Arora received the Pradhan Mantri Rashtriya Bal Puraskar and moved to Silicon Valley on an O-1 visa. At 24, she became Y Combinator’s youngest General Partner.
