Sandeep Srivastava

Sandeep is the first Indian and among the pioneering few in the world to pen a book - 'Embracing the Net' (by Financial Times, UK)- about the Internet before the first dotcom burst in 2000. Subsequently, in 2001, he wrote the world's first book on e-governance - ‘Government@Net’ (by Sage, India). In 2002, he proposed 'innovation as strategy' in his third book, 'The Bright Stuff' (by Prentice Hall, USA).

After his success in the Information Technology sector, he turned to the education sector. In the two decades since, he has worked with several Indian schools across the globe. He dreams of reforming the education system, empowering parents to guarantee the overall development of every child, and helping create a world where every individual is truly educated!

A major step towards realising the dream has been to author over 100 books on maths, science, social sciences, school leadership, teacher training, and parent engagement. The math books have an added distinction - they are written in 'popular genre'. To put things into perspective, Goodreads (www.goodreads.com) names just 397 "popular genre" math books, compared to over 1,00,000 names in the "popular science" genre. School math textbooks are grossly disappointing.

The most notable, however, has been the acceptance and presentation of six of his papers on quality of education in the 21st century at the 18th and 19th UNESCO–APEID International Conference in Bangkok.

Having homeschooled his only daughter and tutored her all through her board exams, the journey gave him unique insights into the challenges and demands of parenting and education in today's day and age. As also the urge to write for all children of the world. However, all the textbooks are written for the family, not just children, because children need conversations to internalise things around them.

He received education at some of the most well-known institutes in India and abroad. He completed his bachelor’s degree in Computer Sciences from Jadavpur University, Kolkata, M.Tech from IIT Delhi, and MBA from INSEAD, France. He had worked at international corporations like Citibank and Olivetti before setting off on his own path as an author, and later an entrepreneur.

Currently, he resides in Delhi but he has now set the world as his stage!
