Teju Ravilochan
Overview
Teju Ravilochan is the Co-Founder and CEO of Unreasonable Institute. From a young age, Teju wondered what we could to tackle problems like global poverty. Frustrated that this BA in International Affairs wasn't preparing him to do so, he obtained a University Grant to conduct research about the effectiveness of non-profits in India. He learned that traditional charity-based models are not effectively combating poverty. He became inspired by Paul Polak, whose entrepreneurial work has lifted over 19 million farmers out of poverty, and began working with him as his assistant at D-Rev: Design for the Other 90%, eventually leaving to co-found the Unreasonable Institute.
