Tharma Pillai (@tharmapillai) is the Co-Founder and Advocacy Director of Undi18 Malaysia. He co-founded Undi18 with Qyira Yusri, sparking a youth-led movement dedicated to democratic reforms. The movement successfully advocated for the amendment of Article 119(1) of the Federal Constitution to reduce the minimum voting age in Malaysia from 21 to 18 years old.

He was named one of Forbes' 30 Under 30 Asia 2021 for his efforts in championing youth voting rights in Malaysia, and one of Prestige Malaysia's 40 Under 40 in 2019 as one of the bright young minds fighting the good fight in their relentless pursuit of positive change.
