Nik Kalra – Founder

I’m Nik Kalra, a 15-year-old high school student with a passion for helping seniors feel confident and connected in today’s digital world. I started The HEAT Squad after watching my grandmother struggle with her phone and computer, often feeling frustrated and left behind in a world that was moving too fast. Seeing how much she wanted to stay connected but lacked the right support made me realize that countless other seniors were facing the same challenge. That’s why I created this nonprofit—to provide compassionate, hands-on tech support, scam prevention education, and easy-to-follow resources designed specifically for seniors. My goal is simple: to make technology accessible, empowering seniors to stay connected, independent, and safe in a digital world that should include everyone.
