“The youth is the hope of our future,” Jose Rizal.

The quote above accurately describes this Gen Z-led youth organisation, Ascendance.

Recently, Malaysian start-up and Gen Z-led youth organisation, Ascendance bagged the “Best Entrepreneurship Education Project” award for their online platform ‘TheTeenageEntrepreneur.com’ at the 2023 Money Awareness & Inclusion Awards (MAIA).

On behalf of the team, CEO of Ascendance, Harsha Ravindran, receives the “Best Entrepreneurship Education Project” award for their online platform, ‘TheTeenageEntrepreneur.com,” from the Chairman of Manan Trust, Alistair Thompson.

Announcing the winner of the “Best Entrepreneurship Education Project” award was Marc Fancy, the Executive Director of Prudence Foundation and one of the judges of MAIA, who congratulated the Gen Z team behind The Teenage Entrepreneur platform. Giving his hearty congratulations to Ascendance from Hong Kong, Fancy said, “The judges felt that this was a really cool approach, very Netflix-y style content, and a platform that would really appeal to the target audience.”

at the Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards (MAIA) in Singapore.

Founder and finance professional, Michael Gilmore, elatedly opened the awards ceremony by saying, “All these [nominees] are working incredibly hard to try and teach their beneficiaries, their communities and their families how to handle their money better.” Reflecting on how far MAIA has come this year, Gilmore said, “There was a much higher level of quality that was coming through and some globally known names included in that list. We’ve even had small enterprises beat some of the bigger players, too, because of the level of passion that they have for what they do.” 

Founder of the Money Awareness and Inclusion Awards (MAIA), Michael Gilmore, welcomed the audience and announced the first award for the day – “Best Fintech by a For-Profit Organisation”.

TheTeenageEntrepreneur.com is an online platform by Ascendance where Gen Zs can explore entrepreneurship, financial literacy and more through workshops, talk shows and mentorship sessions featuring c-suite executives, entrepreneurs and professionals from around the world. With more than 6,000 students across Malaysia on the platform, The Teenage Entrepreneur held over 200 live virtual events last year. Led by Mahalaxcme Ganesan (20), Abinayasree Meyappan (19) and Vinishyaa Sugumar (21), this platform is run by Gen Z for Gen Z with participants as young as just 8 years old.

Congratulations to the Gen Z team at Ascendance for developing this award-winning platform!
