Judging Panel
Nishant Motwani
Anyone can do everything — we just need a mindset to learn, grow, bet on ourselves, and lift others along the way. I’ve reinvented myself more than once — from aspiring tennis pro to startup founder, to tech strategist. Each time, it’s been about embracing opportunity, where success comes from human connection, unconventional problem-solving, and thinking outside structures to create impactful solutions. Currently, I spearhead strategic partnerships across Connected TV and Automotive at YouTube, negotiating with Fortune 100s, launching in-car media experiences, and pushing YouTube’s reach across devices with cutting-edge innovations. Crafting new opportunities, steering strategic vision, and driving innovation are at the core of my passion. On the soccer field, I’m the strategist — reading the game, flipping tactics, and (kindly) crushing dreams. Music is my creative outlet, new sounds fuel my thinking. If you’re a student or a professional navigating a pivot, feel free to reach out. I couldn’t have done it alone, and I’m always happy to pay it forward.
