Mr. Kishore Kumar RajaramPresident

Kishore is an Entrepreneur with more than two decades of experience in running successful global companies. He has founded three companies so far, including close to a 20-year old Artificial Intelligence based learning company specializing in teaching, understanding children's psychology, and academic needs globally. He did his Mechanical Engineering from PSG Tech, India and MBA from UTA, United States. He currently serves on the board and progress assessment committee of many companies, schools, hospitals, and non-profits around the world. Kishore is the elder son of Mrs. Lakshmi Rajaram and Late Dr. S. Rajaram, who along with his brother Rajesh, grew up among Sivananda children playing cricket with them every weekend. During those times, his strong feeling of how blessed he was to have everything in life with such ease when those children did not have any, had a lasting impact on him. After 20 years of living in the United States, Kishore and his family moved to Chennai, India in 2016 although his close association with Sivananda Gurukulam in an official capacity has been for more than a decade before his moving. He is a great admirer of his grandparents' vision and their philanthropic mindset way back in 1945. His father was an inspiration for him and Kishore particularly cherishes the lessons learned from him on how to run a Trust as a Trust. From his mother is where he believes he learnt the true meaning of compassion in social work. Kishore firmly believes that emotional well-being is the key to one's fulfilled life and therefore has been spearheading the task of permeating it to everyone at Sivananda Gurukulam with the help of psychologists & experts.
