I am Senthil Kumar M. I hail from Madurai, Tamilnadu-India with a great passion for innovating through technology to solve real-life problems. I have innovated in fields like wireless network, defence, maternal healthcare, and safety solutions and filed nearly 10+ patents for the same.

Though I began my career as an engineer in Samsung | Qualcomm Fortune 500 companies, I realised that I am called to be an entrepreneur. I quit my job to found two tech startups, Geomeo and JioVio, in urban infrastructure and healthcare sector respectively.

I have the vision to build technology-enabled self-sustaining communities in my region. I believe that we can achieve this only by bridging the digital divide in the society and by empowering the powerless/vulnerable. To this end, I actively engage in community empowerment and education initiatives especially among girls and young women through ‘MetooMentor’ ’ a non- profit organization that mentors young women to innovate through technology. With a handful of dedicated volunteers, I have reached around 1000 girls in Madurai, Tamilnadu. Currently, this community development initiative has evolved into one of the largest physical ‘Meetup’ communities in Tamilnadu.

I have offered guest lectures in more than 80 higher education institutes in India and have been honoured as the top 5 Technology Explorers in India by Nasscom. I have won several ‘hackathons’ at the national and international level. I have represented India in ‘Battlemesh Research Programme in Europe’. At present, I am exploring ‘open source ecosystem’ and actively engaging with it as one of its contributors.
