Zubair Junjunia founded ZNotes - a community-led learning platform with a mission to end educational inequality everywhere - as a teenager in his bedroom. A decade later, Zubair and the ZNotes community have grown their movement exponentially; the platform now empowers over 5 million young people across the world with its vast range of student-built educational content and peer-to-peer learning opportunities. We sit down with Zubair, a recipient of the prestigious Diana Legacy Award and a Generation17 Young Leader appointed by UNDP, for an in-depth discussion on community building, technology, social mobility, mentorship, and sustainable funding models for social enterprises.
