About the Founder

I'm Sohum Gorladku, a high school student with a passion for business, finance, and innovation. I created The Business Blueprint to share my thoughts on what makes businesses succeed (or fail) and to help others—especially teens—understand the importance of financial literacy. As I pursue a future in business administration, I aim to make complex financial and business concepts accessible, interesting, and relevant for young minds looking to build their own path.


Outside of business and finance, I have a variety of interests. I run cross country and track, enjoy playing basketball with friends, and love spending time with my family. In my free time, I also do digital illustration (soillustrated), programming and web design (portfolio), and keep up with current news while writing articles. I also published numerous well-received articles for my schools award winning newspaper, Cutlass, providing insights on economic and technological developments and their direct impact on our school.

At my high school, I’m involved in Business Professionals of America (BPA), Math Team, Cutlass - School Newspaper, Cross Country, and Track & Field—always looking for ways to challenge myself and grow.

Burritos and Branding: The Strategy Behind Chipotle’s Teen Popularity

Walk into any Chipotle in the afternoon, and you’ll see students lined up, backpacks slung over their shoulders, debating whether to get a burrito or a bowl. For many teens, Chipotle isn’t just a place to eat, it’s a staple of their routine.  “Chipotle’s food just hits different—it’s always high quality and consistently delicious,” said one high school sophomore.

Nvidia: The Tech Stock Set for Explosive Growth in 2025

What if I told you that one company is powering the future of artificial intelligence (AI), self-driving cars, and even the next generation of gaming? Well, that company is Nvidia, and it’s not just a tech giant, it’s the backbone of the AI revolution.  Nvidia is best known for its graphics processing units (GPUs), the high-powered chips that make video games look realistic and fuels some of the most advanced AI models today. While many people associate Nvidia with gaming, its influence stretches far beyond that. Its GPUs are used in AI research, self-driving cars, high-performance computing, and data centers that power demanding services and research. Nvidia's chips are the driving force behind AI models like ChatGPT.  ( Photo by   Mariia Shalabaieva   on   Unsplash ) In 2024, Nvidia’s stock rose an astonishing 171.2% making it one of the best-performing stocks of the year, according to Nasdaq (Nasdaq, 2024).

Teen Investing 101: How to Start Building Wealth Before 18

Investing in the stock market is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make, and the earlier you start, the better. While it might seem like something only adults do, teens under 18 can absolutely get involved in investing and start building wealth for the future. By investing at a young age, you benefit from compound interest, gain financial literacy, and set yourself up for long-term success.  Why start investing as a teen? Well, the earlier you invest, the more time your money has to grow.
