Memorable Quote: “...I was always really inspired by my seniors, you know, people who I could look up to and say, Oh, that's a cool thing that they did. You know, maybe, oh, I didn't know this was possible. You know, it really showed me that, you know, these people who are making changes, as you know, age, age didn't matter for them, you know, it was just something that they did.” Suraj Reddy.
