Ruchir Sharma is a talented and creative young leader, who has worked across the public sector, private sector, and NGOs across Asia, Australia, and Europe.

He combines his academic and professional qualifications from the University of Geneva and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) with an almost unparalleled passion to help empower people with the tools and knowledge they need to make a meaningful and positive difference to both their lives as well as to the ecosystems within which they live.

His empathetic and collaborative approach to leadership and innovation is designed around the concept of bottom-up “user innovation” - understanding the needs and challenges that people face in their everyday lives, and designing solutions that tackle the root causes of their problems, rather than merely just the symptoms.
