Management

SAI SEVA is a privately held company, which was founded initially by four Directors - Sujatha Raju, Prashanth R, Sai Narain CDK and Prasad Ayyagari, who all brought with them rich experiences in the fields of BPO services, Banking and Technology. NT Shiv Kumar joined SAI SEVA as Honorary Director and he has augmented the capabilities of the team with his extensive software and social networking experience.

"SAI SEVA is a pioneer on the rural BPO space. As Bhagwan Baba says 'Grama Seva is Rama Seva'. This venture is an effort to obey Bhagwan Baba's Divine command and be instruments in His mission to uplift the neglected villages by providing employment to the rural educated youth. I pray that this tiny spark should fire the inspiration of many to initiate the rural BPO revolution in India."

Sujatha is the co-founder and CEO of MMC Infotech Services, which she co-founded in 1990. She introduced the concept of bulk mail handling and quickly established MMC as the leading provider of this service in Chennai. A natural entrepreneur, she pioneered the concept of business outsourcing for banks and successfully sold the concept to Citibank India. What was started with a team of just 4 employees has today grown to a family that is over 1800 strong and MMC is today one of the most experienced 3rd party service providers in the banking vertical in India, providing a wide range of banking support services. In May 2003, she set up her second company, Trayee Business Solutions P Ltd, to provide support services for HSBC, India and this too was the first and only such instance of HSBC tying up with a 3rd party service provider in Asia. Trayee and MMC today provide services to ten major banks.

A passionate entrepreneur, she firmly attributes her success to the grace of God and believes in treating all her employees as her own extended family - a spirit that is warmly reciprocated by everyone she works with.

She is the face of SAI SEVA and drives new business acquisition besides playing an active role in day-to-day management.

"During my student days under the Divine and watchful eyes of Bhagwan Baba the big lesson I had learnt was 'Education is for Life and not merely for a Living'. There is so much that is inside this statement. One of the key takeaways from this is that the education we acquire should add value to humankind. This Education of Bhagwan Baba has given us Character, Morality, Intelligence, Money, and above all it has given us the heart to Love all and Serve all. SAI SEVA is an endeavour to channelise this unparalleled Education to help our Villages to support themselves. I believe this is an opportunity that comes once in many life times and by the Grace of God we would like to make best use of it with the support of our Clients."

"In so many discourses to His management students, Bhagwan has spoken about the importance of providing employment opportunities in villages. Every time I remember that out of all those hundreds of students, I am one of those few chosen by Him to actually participate in such a venture, I feel so blessed and my heart is filled with gratitude. I also wish to express my heartfelt thanks to my teachers who inspired us and guided us to start this venture.I also convey my thanks to our client, Basix who partnered us in the realization of this concept.
