From fixing classroom projectors to presenting cybersecurity findings in Parliament, Veer Bishen Gosai, 19, is turning technical talent into lasting impact. A tech innovator, investigator and student, Veer merges education, ethics and digital access in all he does. As founder of Taptic, he leads one of South Africa’s most impactful edtech platforms. His flagship site, SA Papers, has delivered over seven million sessions, offering free academic content to high school learners — and expanding reach into Rwanda and Namibia. While pursuing geoinformatics and computer science at Stellenbosch University, Veer balances coding, entrepreneurship and public interest work. For GroundUp News, he co-led a national investigation exposing abuse within the R370 Sassa grant system, culminating in his appearance before Parliament. His independent security disclosures, including a major Nedbank client vulnerability, underline his ethical commitment to protecting users. “Get your act in order,” his mother told him — advice he credits with keeping him grounded while scaling ideas that serve. Veer is proving that digital innovation, when led by values, can uplift generations.
