Plutus was founded with a single, clear mission: to make financial literacy accessible, actionable, and inspiring — especially for the next generation.

At the helm of this mission is Aryan Puri, a passionate advocate for financial education and a believer in empowering youth with the tools they need to thrive in today’s complex economy.

Aryan’s journey began with a pivotal experience at Columbia University, where he attended a summer school on blockchain and cryptocurrency. It was there that he uncovered a startling truth: despite money being one of the most critical forces in our lives, we’re rarely taught how to manage it.

“Why aren’t we taught about money from a young age? How to grow it, manage it, or even understand it?”

Driven by these questions, Aryan made it his mission to change the narrative. He founded a finance club dedicated to teaching students the fundamentals of financial planning, wealth creation, and smart investing.

More than just a club, it became a community hub, bringing in industry insiders and prominent guest speakers to share real-world insights and inspire the next generation of financially savvy leaders.

With that foundation, Plutus was born.

Today, Plutus is more than just a platform, it’s a movement. It embodies Aryan’s vision of a financially literate future, where young people aren’t left to figure things out on their own, but are equipped from the start with the knowledge and confidence to make informed financial decisions.

Whether you’re a student, educator, or simply someone passionate about taking control of your financial future, Plutus is here to support your journey, led by someone who started out asking the right questions.
