Become a sponsor to Anivar Aravind

Hello! I'm Anivar, a public interest technologist who has spent over a decade building technology that advances digital rights and serves communities, not just markets.

My Mission:
Bridging technology development with digital rights advocacy, focusing on multilingual computing and policy-aware solutions that bring technology to underrepresented communities worldwide.

My Journey:
From coordinating the Free Software Foundation of India to engaging in internet governance, I've learned that sustainable technology requires both technical excellence and rights-conscious policy
frameworks.

Recognition:
• Government of India (MeiTY) - Led national R&D programs for language computing
• Deccan Herald Changemaker 2024 - Digital inclusion and rights advocacy
• ICANN Fellow - Internet governance and multilingual standards
• Mozilla Representative - Open web and digital rights advocacy
• Software Freedom Law Centre advisory board - Digital rights policy
• Google Summer of Code mentor (multiple cycles)

Current Work:
Contributing to JavaScript standards, building AI protocol bridges with privacy considerations, maintaining language computing tools that serve millions, and speaking at digital rights forums like
RightsCon, MozFest, and FOSSASIA on technology policy intersection.

Why Your Support Matters:
Your sponsorship enables me to dedicate time to public interest technology projects, participate in policy discussions that shape digital rights, and maintain tools that democratize technology
access.

Every contribution helps sustain work that puts people and rights before profit.
