Manan Kalra is a Grade 10 student at Mentor College who is thrilled to serve on FBL Canada’s 2026-2027 National Advisory Council! His leadership journey began in grades 7 and 8, when he earned the title of National Champion twice in the CJLE competitions— an achievement that sparked his passion for business, technology, and community service. Alongside a deep interest in chess, coding, and AI, Manan loves tackling creative problem-solving challenges, from competing in case competitions and hackathons to even launching his own social nonprofit. Outside of academics, Manan loves to play badminton, watch movies, and hang out with friends. Manan looks forward to working with the NAC to create engaging events, expand nationwide outreach, and deliver an unforgettable year for students across Canada!
