The Why of Ycenter

About us

From the Founder’s Desk

Dhairya Pujara Founder,CEO

The Why of Ycenter has always been about igniting curiosity and building creative confidence in people so we can solve for the greatest challenges of our times.

After graduating with my Biomedical Engineering degree in Philadelphia, I got a chance to serve in a rural hospital in Mozambique, Africa. I realized there is a huge gap between what we learn in classrooms and what we need for solving real world issues. Ycenter was born from the need to close that gap.

The company was launched n 2014 and since then we have built Experiential Learning Programs and provided consulting services around the world. We have reached 15,000+ people in 30 countries, but we truly believe we are just getting started. We are still learning!
