Ram co-founded the World Peace & Prosperity Foundation as a high-school student in New Jersey with a simple conviction: the families he met in hospital wards and community kitchens deserved prevention, not just prescriptions.
He has shadowed physicians across neurology, pain medicine, anesthesiology, cardiology, and gastroenterology over four summers, and volunteers weekly at Capital Health Regional Medical Center, where he runs the patient tea cart and sits with patients who need someone to talk to.
As Youth Director of VT Seva he led fundraising that raised more than $10,000 in 2023 and again in 2025 for Netra Vidyalaya, a school for visually impaired children in India, and helped raise over $100,000 for the Sanjeevani community kitchen in Willingboro, New Jersey, which serves free hot meals to the neighborhood.
Ram built the foundation's first website and designed its patient surveys. He codes in Java, Python, and JavaScript, competes nationally in science, and intends to become a physician.
