RAVI SHARMA
FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN
FOUNDER & CHAIRMAN
A distinguished alumnus of IIT Roorkee, a business leader and philanthropist, Ravi Sharma started his life from a village school and has walked up to the most influential corridors of the corporate world.
Ravi strongly believes in power of humanity and abundance of nature to have enough for everyone one on this earth, but unequal distribution of resources creates a disbalance and discord between human beings. This gap widens even more in society because we don’t appreciate the goodness of hearts in people but only their success. Therefore the attitude of helping others is slowly vanishing from our world.
Popularly known as a transformation expert in the business world at the acme of his career, Ravi decided to transform the state of affairs for underprivileged and started Prama Jyoti Foundation in 2009.
His dream to extend quality education and promote a life of goodness to all is turning into a reality through PJF. And now with Information technology predominating our lives, Ravi is highly positive about the due transformation more than ever.
