The foundation's flagship project - Project Beyshick - and foundation's chairman Mr. Aditya Jha were recently featured in a book titled "We Are the New Radicals".  The book, authored by former speech writer Julia Moulden, explores and explains the idea that "people around the world, thousands of people who have found success in their chosen careers are getting the call to do something more with their lives -to give something back to a world desperately in need of their help. And you don't have to be a billionaire to do so."

To get her idea across, Julia quotes Aditya as one of the New Radicals who founded Project Beyshick to nurture entrepreneurship amongst the First Nation Communities in Canada.
