Through his company, Aswin helps nurture college students by providing internships for them to learn hands-on about working in a nimble startup environment and learning different technologies. He is an active contributor to Stack Overflow and also provides paid mentorship for Python and JavaScript-based projects through online platforms like Codementor.

Right from his college days, Aswin has been a part of the Free and Open Source (FOSS) community and has been interacting with students from colleges across Tamil Nadu to teach them the importance of open-source software and tools in the software community. He also conducts sessions teaching different programming languages like Python, and JavaScript, and different frameworks like Ember.js, React.js, Django, and Flask. He always insists on students learning the “How” in everything instead of just the “What”. His teachings always focus on making people understand how things work, and not just what they do. This will enable the students to become thinkers instead of just doers.
