Janaki Ram (fondly called JR by those who know him) is a self-directed lifelong learner who believes that learning is everything and thinks that learning happens everywhere — not just in the classroom. He holds on to Mark Twain’s mantra: “I have never let school interfere with my education.” He says “the times when I learned and grew the most in life – are the times when I’d stuck my neck out and taken a risk.” He also has an academic degree in commerce and masters in Human resources along with numerous certifications to his credit, including CPTD.

Spanning over 40 years he worked in several entirely different sectors and industries such as Banking and Finance, Manufacturing, Distribution & Retail, Civil Engineering, Visual Communications and Multimedia, Web Technologies, Hospitality, and Event Management. Currently working as a consultant and Founder of Gnana Yoga (Knowledge Yoga).

Wherever he has worked, he has remained fascinated with life, by the creative process and how the design of learning experiences can be carried out as an act of knowledge exploration, and imagination. He has kitbags of skills, experiences and insights which he brings into Knowledge Sharing; Training and Development; Performance improvement initiatives for the clients.

Outside that his personal interests include the natural world, exploring new places, good food, reading between the lines, and learning something new every day.

JR’s favorite quote:

“To do everything as if it were the only thing in the world that mattered, while all the time knowing that it doesn’t matter at all.” – From Carlos Castaneda's book “Don Juan's Teachings”
