New Advisors to the Techno-Philanthropy Initiative

I am gratefully announcing addition of two advisors - Mr. Ashish Gawade and Mr. Aniduddha Atre - to this effort, both agreeing to help me with philanthropic organizations and related technology activities in India.

Ashish Gawade, Co-Founder and Director, Jeevtronics, Pvt. Ltd., India

Mr. Gawade has been actively engaged in volunteer humanitarian activities for over 26 years, from very early age. He is currently President of Jeevtronics, an innovative renewable and health products and services company in Pune, Maharashtra, and has also founded 'Bottom of the Pyramid Energy and Environment Innovations', based on the concept of 'The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid' first introduced by Dr. C. K. Prahalad at the University of Michigan, where Mr. Gawade studied to obtain his Masters in Business Administration. Mr. Gawade also has an MS from Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, and has had successful stints at Ford Motor Company and Cummins. For this initiative, Mr. Gawade will provide advice and scouting help for identifying and connecting reputable philanthropic organizations with a history of success.

Aniruddha Atre, CEO and Founder of Jeevtronics, Pvt. Ltd., India

Mr. Atre, after completing his undergraduate at Pune University, spent over a decade and a half in the US, obtaining his MS in Mechanical Engineering and MBA from the University of Michigan, while also spending about a decade at Ford Motor Company in a variety of engineering roles. He has since been in India, working as the co-founder for both Bottom of the Pyramid Energy & Environment Innovations and Jeevtronics, lending his financial and technical expertise to help these companies succeed toward achieving societal good. Mr. Atre has graciously agreed to be available to provide his insights into financing different initiatives from the chosen organizations.
