In 2012, he started the MIT Media Lab India Initiative. It was a platform where aspiring innovators learnt how to use design thinking as a tool to solve problems, along with getting access to future technologies to build solutions that could compete with the best in the world. What started with barely 50 people, by 2016 was 20,000 innovators strong, people who had worked together to create something useful for their house, their community, their society.
At 19, Marwah won the Google Prodigy Award and also worked on a collaborative tool with a professor at Harvard Medical School for improving engagements between doctors to discuss their patient studies. In 2016, he founded Tesseract Inc. to create made-in-India products that are innovative and design-led.
