Leadership

Prerit is our CEO. Dream. Idea. Action. Reflection. More Action. More dreams. More Ideas… is his daily routine. His biggest assets are his zeal to learn new things and his “awesome team”! He gets thrilled when someone in the team does an “excellent job”. His team is what he always boasts about. Why not! 

Sakshi, a student of development management, never fails to inspire the team through her efforts and knowledge. Think. Read. Action. Reflection. Action… is what she does every day. Nurturing partnerships based on “compassion and empathy” is what she does for Agrasar. With oneness.

Shashi ji, as he is fondly addressed by the team and everyone around holds the key to government relationships at strategic level. Prerit’s way and Shashi’s way of connecting with people are different, but Shashi ji takes the final call when it comes to partnering with the bureaucracy. Rightly so 🙂 

Samriddhi completed her Post graduation from Tata Institute of Social Science in 2022 and worked with NITI Aayog as Social Initiatives Fellow before joining Agrasar. She is the recipient of INSPIRE Scholarship issued by Ministry of Science and Technology, Government of India in 2018. She is progressing towards strengthening our work on capacity building.

Anu has more than a decade long experience of working with most reputed schools of India. She is also a practicing life coach and an NLP practitioner. Currently, she is working on research, curriculum development and teachers’ capacity building.

Ankita loves creation and ideation. Co-creation and Co-ideation with the team is what she does for our program on eliminating corporal punishment in India. A postgraduate in social work, and being a straight talker, she often makes us reflect upon how we do what we do and add value to the organisation. Her motto – Trust the Process. 

“Neelam didi” is how she is known in communities. She has a knack of making deep connections with workers and their families. This helps us in involving them at equal level while designing responses to social problems. She has done her masters in women and child development and loves teaching children.

Neeraj Sir is our CFO. A simple and caring human being, he is also the go to person in case of any sort of challenges. Do not go by “seriousness” being reflect by this picture, Neeraj Sir is also an amazing dancer! 🙂 See him during festivals we often celebrate with community. Also, he timely processes our salaries. Keep it up Sir!

Sanjogita has completed her masters in mathematics as well as Sanskrit. What combination! She leads engagement with parents and the government schools for our Agrasar Bachpan program. We fondly address her as “School Principal”!

Monu is the “accounts”. Assists Neeraj Sir in nearly every task, hence a CFO in making! He is highly realiable when it comes to meeting target dates. In free time, which he hardly gets, he takes selfies. Like the one in this profile!

Ravi and Nita are hard to be introduced without each other. They have been working together for more than 05 years now and are the souls of our work with the communities. You often see them “fighting” with each other (Read, Nita scolding Ravi!) but the team finds that joyful! Especially, because of the mutual respect…

Nita and Ravi hold for each other. They together lead the team of our community associates and the volunteers (Agrasar Saathis), and inspire them with their grit and determination. 

Associates

We have a team of more than 100 community associates and volunteers (Agrasar Saathis) who work dedicatedly in the communities They generally come from the same milieu and therefore have deepest levels of empathy and understanding with migrant workers and their families.
