If you're one of those rare people who want to work in the social sector, this episode is for you
Rajasri started with a goal to impact one million people—her company has already reached over two million across India and Saudi Arabia. The founder of Impactree.ai is revolutionizing social impact measurement through technology, building SaaS platforms that help ground-level workers translate sustainability goals into real metrics.
From growing up in the Gulf to abandoning Indian Economic Services midway (she later completed a CS degree in her first attempt), Rajasri's journey took twelve to fifteen years to crystallize. After ten months of minimal work during a 2010 recession, she quit to join the Jagrati Yatra—a transformative pan-India entrepreneurial train journey with 500 young professionals. The experience taught her that discovering purpose takes time, but collective learning accelerates growth.
Through her work creating women entrepreneurs across rural Maharashtra and Bihar, Rajasri discovered something crucial: most Indian women are already entrepreneurs, their contributions simply go unrecognized. Her company now uses visual, vernacular data platforms (because only a small percentage speaks fluent English) to bridge the gap between consultant recommendations and ground-level implementation.
By August 2028, Rajasri aims to take her company public. What drives someone from economics to law to data analytics entrepreneurship?
Listen to discover how understanding socio-cultural nuances—not just economic factors—unlocks real impact.
