Raj Mehta, Founder & CEO
Raj Mehta is the Founder and CEO of the Fluid Ice Foundation. As a high school student in the Atlanta metro, Georgia, Raj always enjoys helping others, and aspires to give back to society at every opportunity that comes along. Raj is particularly passionate about financial inclusion, to expand access to financial services to the un/underbanked subsets of the population. Although the un/underbanked subsets of the population have always been excluded, the recent COVID pandemic has made it even more apparent, and caused them to be even further left behind. Raj sees himself as a “social impact catalyst” and a “changemaker” to help mitigate the financial divide, and he aims to make this a reality through his nonprofit – Fluid Ice Foundation. Raj is also a financial education instructor helping increase financial literacy awareness and education, especially amongst the underprivileged youth.
Raj is focused to be a social impact entrepreneur/innovator, championing sustainable innovation by transforming societal assets/capital to enable disruptive solutions providing a positive return to society.
On a more personal note, Raj enjoys mathematics and has won numerous prestigious math competitions (qualified to Mathcounts Nationals to represent the State of Georgia, AIME, AMC, etc.), is a proficient saxophonist (member, Georgia Music Educator’s Association (GMEA) Allstate Band), is an advanced chess player, and a professionally trained/skilled golfer. He is also an avid book reader in his spare time.
Raj is also an accomplished Author (“SKope: The Social Kaleidoscope – Economics of Global Social Equity” – https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CL3C65GH).
