Progress, Potential, and Possibilities Podcast / Show Dr. Jamuna Ravi - CEO, Vayah Vikas - Transforming Well-Being & Quality Of Life For India's Elderly
Dr. Jamuna Ravi is the Chief Executive Officer of Vayah Vikas ( https://vayah-vikas.org/ ), an organization dedicated to transforming well-being and quality of life for older adults across India. Under her leadership, Vayah Vikas has emerged as one of the most forward-thinking initiatives in the aging sector—integrating digital health, preventive care, social engagement, and evidence-based longevity practices to support India’s rapidly growing elder population.
Dr. Ravi is a seasoned technology leader who has spent more than three decades building and leading large IT organizations before turning her attention to social impact and healthy-aging initiatives. A computer-science engineering graduate of Birla Institute of Technology and Science, she has held senior leadership and delivery roles across India and internationally, including long tenures at Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys, senior roles with Shell and HSBC Technology, and a period as founder-director of an IT consultancy.
Over the course of her technology career Dr. Ravi led large portfolios, global delivery centers and cross-functional teams — with responsibility for strategy, program delivery, and people management across banking, energy, utilities and other verticals. She is widely recognized in the IT community as an advocate for inclusion and women in technology, and as a leader who combines deep technical knowledge with pragmatic enterprise execution.
After retiring from full-time executive work in technology, Dr. Ravi moved into pro-bono and social impact roles focused on aging, leadership and community well-being. She joined Vayah Vikas as Chief Executive Officer, bringing her product, systems and program-management experience to bear on building scalable, tech-enabled programs for older adults in India.
At Vayah Vikas Dr. Ravi has focused on translating enterprise best practices into impact-oriented initiatives: strengthening organizational operations, expanding member engagement, and championing age-friendly digital inclusion and workplace healthy-aging programs. She has represented Vayah Vikas at industry forums and moderated sessions at national senior-care conclaves, signaling her role as a bridge between the tech world and the elder-care ecosystem.
Beyond Vayah Vikas, Dr. Ravi has taken on board and advisory roles that leverage her governance and governance-scale experience including at Bank Of India. She is also active in mentoring and speaking on leadership, emotional intelligence, and purposeful retirement. Her career arc—from computer-science engineer and global IT leader to social-impact CEO—gives her a rare combination of operational discipline, technical literacy, and a commitment to dignity and connection in aging.
