We are excited to welcome three outstanding leaders to the Pratham NY Tri-State Board: Deepak Seshadri, Jasjit Singh, and Amit Rametra.
The NY Tri-State Board is made up of dedicated professionals and community leaders who share a deep commitment to Pratham’s mission of “every child in school and learning well.” Through fundraising, outreach, and thought leadership, the board plays a crucial role in advancing educational equity for children and youth across India and beyond.
Deepak Seshadri joins us with a strong background in technology and philanthropy. A Vice President at D. E. Shaw, he specializes in building high-performance infrastructure for quantitative research and global markets. Deepak has been involved with Pratham since 2014 and previously served on the Chicago chapter board until his move back to New York. We’re thrilled to have his continued leadership and perspective on the NY Tri-State Board.
Jasjit Singh is a Partner and the co-head of Apollo Insurance Solutions Group where he has played a key role in building and internalizing the Risk infrastructure as well as standing up and growing the variable annuity business of Apollo. Jasjit also brings valuable experience from Lehman Brothers and Deutsche Bank. Jasjit has been a Pratham supporter since 2019 and looks forward to deepening his involvement with Pratham.
Amit Rametra is a Managing Director and Global Head of Securitized Products Sales at Nomura Securities International, Inc and brings over 22 years of experience selling Mortgage-Backed Securities products. Amit graduated from New York University, Stern School of Business and has been involved with Pratham since 2022. As a life-long New Yorker with parents who were heavily involved with giving back to India, Amit looks forward to carrying their torch forward with his involvement with Pratham.
As we celebrate Pratham’s 30th year, we are proud to welcome new voices who will help shape the future of our work and amplify our impact. Please join us in extending a warm welcome to Deepak, Jasjit, and Amit—we look forward to the energy, ideas, and leadership they’ll bring to the Pratham community!
