01 — About Siddarth Narayanan

I'm an engineer by training and a policy & innovation practitioner by choice — focused on how technology, entrepreneurship, and skill development can be shaped into real opportunity for the next generation.

As Senior Program Manager and Head of Innovation at 1M1B Foundation, I lead initiatives that put emerging technology and entrepreneurial thinking in the hands of youth and communities. As Founding Director of Bharat Tech Foundation, I work to build the institutions and platforms India needs for its next wave of tech-driven growth. Formerly, I worked with the Office of the Principal Scientific Adviser to the Prime Minister of India.
