New Delhi : Over the course of his 30-year career, Jaishankar Seetharaman has partnered with multinational corporations in the field of information technology. Some of these companies have had an international impact on the tourism sector. He has extensive experience in leading large-scale IT transformation initiatives across many business sectors. He has also seen how technology has affected companies and society at large, as well as the development of the tourism sector.
Mentoring young professionals, aspiring business owners, and new ventures is a cause near and dear to Jaishankar’s heart. He appreciates and promotes the fresh thinking of today’s young since he knows they will steer the business into its next phase of development. He thinks that the greatest way to learn and develop is to teach others what you’ve learned.
A Radical Thinker at the Helm of Society’s Cause
Jaishankar is not just a leader with a vision, but also a social activist whose goal is to promote economic development and increase employment prospects in India’s tier 2 and tier 3 cities. He thinks that India’s new urban centres hold great promise for the country’s future growth and creativity. He also thinks it’s unfair to ask individuals from lower-income communities to uproot their families and move to the big cities in order to realise their potential.
That is why he co-founded Mikro Grafeio in 2021, a social impact startup that aims to generate 100,000 job opportunities by offering integrated workspace and workforce solutions, as well as advisory and consulting services for businesses seeking to establish operations outside of metros and tier 1 cities.
