Satya embarked on a global journey in pursuit of his dreams and vision. After completing his education, he ventured to the USA, where his relentless hard work and determination led him to juggle various roles and responsibilities. Through sheer perseverance, he rose through the ranks and ultimately achieved the position of CEO at SelectBlinds. His previous roles include, Chief Digital Officer and Chief Marketing Officer at companies like Microsoft, Nike, JCPenney, Ogilvy and Chico’s FAS.
As he entered the phase of middle age, Satya experienced a profound realization. He felt a deep calling to make a meaningful impact on the future of his country by focusing on education. Driven by this newfound purpose, he decided to dedicate his resources to a cause close to his heart. He donated his inherited property to establish a foundation aimed at transforming children's education in his home country.
Satya's vision for his foundation is to provide hands-on learning experiences through innovative and futuristic courses. He believes that children are the cornerstone of a nation's future, and equipping them with the skills and knowledge to thrive in a rapidly evolving world is essential. His foundation is committed to offering educational programs that inspire and prepare the next generation for the challenges and opportunities ahead. Through this endeavor, Satya is not only giving back but also investing in a brighter, more promising future for all.
