Meet Pradum Shukla, the 19-Year-Old from Varanasi Turning Life Lessons into Purposeful Writing

At an age when many are still discovering who they are, Pradum Shukla, a 19-year-old Indian entrepreneur and author from Varanasi, is already making his voice heard. Also known by his creative alias PRXDUM, he’s using the power of words to inspire a generation of young minds.

Pradum has written and published two books focused on personal growth, self-awareness, and inner transformation—offering readers a relatable and grounded approach to navigating life’s challenges.

His Hindi book “ख़ुद से आगे” (Khud Se Aage) connects deeply with Indian youth, touching on themes like discipline, habit-building, and overcoming fear. Meanwhile, “The Power to Outgrow”, written in English, builds on similar ideas—encouraging readers to break through their self-doubt and mental limitations.

What sets his writing apart is its simplicity and honesty. Pradum avoids complex jargon and instead writes in a clear, human voice drawn from real-life experiences. Each chapter is designed not just to inform but to spark reflection, often ending with thoughtful insights and self-reflective questions.

Outside of writing, Pradum is also the founder of Desh Crux, a youth-driven digital news platform that highlights independent thought and social commentary. As both an author and entrepreneur, he is actively building platforms that promote meaningful conversation and self-inquiry.

“Real change doesn’t begin with others—it starts when we ask ourselves the right questions,” says Pradum.

As one of the youngest emerging voices in India’s self-help space, Pradum Shukla is proving that age is no barrier to making an impact. His journey is a reminder that when passion meets purpose, even the youngest voices can spark real change.
