Founder, Alfaazo
Simranjeet Aulakh is the founder of Alfaazo, a free app for learning Punjabi. After seeing how easily the language slips away from second- and third-generation Punjabis growing up abroad, Simranjeet built Alfaazo to make the Gurmukhi script and everyday Punjabi approachable for a new generation. On the Alfaazo journal, Simranjeet writes about Punjabi script, vocabulary, phrases, and the culture woven through the language.
