At 23, Sagar Nilesh Vadikar has developed a professional journey across two distinct but closely connected fields technology and anchoring. The Latur-based entrepreneur, founder of Core3 Innovations and professional anchor has been selected for the Maharashtra Spotlight Awards 2026 at the India Republic Times – Leadership Conclave Mumbai 2026, bringing attention to his work in IT, education, student development and professional event hosting.
Vadikar’s technology journey is centred around Core3 Innovations, an organisation working across IT solutions, web and application development, education and skill development. Through the organisation, he provides websites, web applications and digital solutions to clients and NGOs while also working towards connecting students with practical technology skills and career opportunities.
As a professional Python trainer, Vadikar focuses on practical and industry-oriented technical training. His work with students extends into IT career guidance, where he helps young people understand opportunities in the technology sector and prepare themselves for professional careers.
But technology is only one part of his journey.
Vadikar’s anchoring career began during his school days, when he discovered an interest in speaking, performing and connecting with people. Coming from a humble background, he describes his early journey as one shaped by challenges, determination and a desire to build his own identity.
His father’s journey served as an important source of inspiration. From him, Vadikar says he learned the importance of confidence, courage and becoming self-reliant. These lessons became part of his approach as he gradually moved from school events to college stages and later to university-level events.
With every stage, his experience grew. What began as an interest in public speaking gradually developed into a professional pursuit. For Vadikar, anchoring eventually became more than simply hosting an event. It became a field in which he could combine communication, confidence, energy and interaction with audiences.
His efforts have received recognition in Latur, where he has been honoured twice with the “Exceptional Anchoring of the Year” recognition. These milestones became encouragement for him to continue developing his stage presence and professional skills.
Today, Vadikar’s work as an anchor sits alongside his responsibilities as a technology entrepreneur and trainer. The two sides of his career share a common connection: communication. Whether he is explaining technology to students, guiding young people about IT careers, presenting on stage or working with clients, his professional journey has been built around connecting with people.
His involvement also extends into student welfare and social initiatives. He has been associated with ABVP and contributed to student-related initiatives, adding a social dimension to his work with young people.
Through Core3 Innovations, his objective is to create a stronger connection between students, educational institutions, businesses and the IT industry. His vision is not limited to providing technology services; he also wants young people to develop practical skills and understand how those skills can translate into professional opportunities.
His message to students reflects this approach. Vadikar believes technology should not be viewed simply as a skill to learn, but as a tool that can create opportunities and solve real-world problems. He encourages students to focus on practical knowledge, continuously upgrade their skills and have confidence in their own abilities.
The India Republic Times – Leadership Conclave Mumbai 2026 nomination places this diverse journey on a larger platform. The Maharashtra Spotlight Awards 2026 recognition comes in the context of Vadikar’s work across entrepreneurship, technology, student development and professional anchoring.
From starting his anchoring journey on school stages to building an IT venture at the age of 23, Vadikar’s career reflects a combination of communication and technology. One side of his work is focused on creating digital solutions and developing IT skills; the other is built around the stage, public communication and connecting with audiences.
His journey from Latur also carries a personal message about persistence. What began with challenges and limited opportunities gradually developed into two professional identities entrepreneur and anchor.
As Sagar Nilesh Vadikar continues to develop Core3 Innovations and expand his work as a professional anchor, his Maharashtra Spotlight Awards 2026 nomination marks another milestone in a journey that combines technology, communication, entrepreneurship and youth development.
