Deepti is the Country Representative for Escuela Nueva Foundation in India. Over 40 years, Escuela Nueva has developed a child centered methodology that has created dramatic results in Colombia - for example, taking it to second in Latin American in math scores - that we are now trying to bring to India. I like thinking about developing people - children through primary and secondary education or adults through unique leadership development program and am interested in how we can find sustainable ways of doing so. I have also helped launch a school management company in India that is bringing innovative methodologies to private schools in small towns and rural areas. And before moving to India, I was the Talent Manager at Acumen Fund, a non-profit venture fund, where I helped create the Acumen Fund Fellows Program. I love playing tennis - even though I'm not that good - and am excited about the new yoga and meditation room we have set up at home. // Deepti builds technology that can strengthen our communities as building blocks of our democracy. She currently co-leads New_ Public with Eli Pariser and Talia Stroud. New_ Public is a product studio for healthy digital public spaces: spaces where people can connect one another, build understanding across differences, and work towards shared goals AND are built to maximize plurality, equity and cohesion not financial returns. With the decline of participation in PTAs, neighborhood groups, local newspapers and the increasing time we are all spending online, we believe that these digital public spaces, if built right (in deep proximity with community members and with public incentive structures), are the new building blocks of our democratic society and are partnering with community leaders, designers and engineers to build them. Previously Deepti was a Director at Facebook (now, Meta) where she focused on community building, cohesion, and incubation: she set up FB’s New Product Experimentation team; created the Community Partnerships team to build products (namely, Groups), programs, and partnerships that support community leaders to take their communities to the next level, and led Internet.org across Asia. Prior to Facebook, she has been working in the fields of social change, community organizing and leadership development for over 14 years across the private, non – profit and public sectors. She founded Haiyya, India’s largest neighborhood community organizing platform; Escuela Nueva India, an education company that serves the urban poor and the Fellows Program at Acumen to build leaders for the social enterprise sector. She started her career as a management consultant and has helped found an executive coaching and leadership development firm. Deepti is a graduate of the Harvard Kennedy School and the Wharton Business School and holds a bachelors degree in Psychology. She is a TED Fellow, an Aspen Institute First Movers Fellow and Ideas Scholar, and her work has been featured in publications such as Forbes, Business Week, Wall Street Journal, India Today, and in a PBS documentary, The New Recruits. // Deepti builds technology that can strengthen our communities as building blocks of our democracy.

Ethnographer + qualitative researcher // Qualitative Researcher and Ethnographer. Founder, Explore Research & Consultancy, Mosoci and Convo. I’ve spent over 20 years advising a global portfolio of clients including Nokia, MTV, Dell, Intel, Pitney Bowes, and Unilever. My projects have led me deep into rural markets, following trend-setting youth in urban settings, and digging deep into motivations and possible triggers across a wide range of demographic and psychographic groups. I work across both products and services and am driven to be at the forefront of technology trend research in India. I have a curiosity and willingness to dig deeper and listen carefully. I am very effective at uncovering what people think and feel, and their underlying drivers. Yet it is their stories that motivate me most. I know when I have an impactful one and that usually leads to better solutions and strategies for our Clients. I’m known as one of India’s earliest bloggers, frequently on TV as a social media observer, and a friend and advisor to Global Voices Online. From 2003, I have contributed to building several communities on the internet, including Worldchanging, Tsunami Help, KatrinaHelp, Asia Quake Help, SkypeJournal. I have presented papers and spoken at conferences around the world, including Reboot, EPIC, BlogHer, Microsoft Research’s Social Computing Summit, World Women’s Forum. Plus, been a lead facilitator at camps and workshops on engaging audiences online.

You gave up a very successful corporate career with a large Multinational company, to start your own research company because you wanted to be more selective about projects you worked on.
