“It’s much harder on smaller businesses than on the large ones — would love more support.”— Putterham Grille, Brookline MA.

About Me

Hi, I’m Avyaya Jha, a junior at Brookline High School. I’m really interested in how government policies like taxes and tariffs affect small businesses. I’ve been closely following changes in these areas and want to help local businesses understand what’s happening and how to address it. My goal is to create simple, useful tools that make it easier for people to learn about these policies and use that knowledge to make smart decisions. I’m working on building a non-profit that supports small businesses in my community to navigate the ever-changing regulatory environment and be successful in their endeavor.
