About me
I am Sameer Nair, a seasoned management professional with over 25 years of diverse experience across multiple industries, including IT, Training, Education, Facility Management, Retail, Wellness and Social Impact Organizations. Throughout my career journey, I have contributed to the growth and success of organizations operating in challenging and nascent stages.
Five years ago, I made a transition to Youth4Jobs, leveraging my expertise in disability knowledge. I played a pivotal role in managing the flagship program, WISE, which focuses on empowering less educated youth. Presently, I lead various programs at Youth4Jobs, with a special focus on Swarajability, an exclusive accessible job portal aimed at facilitating job opportunities for persons with disabilities. My journey is a testament to my commitment to driving positive change and making a meaningful impact in the lives of individuals and communities.
My organisation
Youth 4 Jobs Foundation is an action organisation with a heart working to ensure youth with disabilities can be poverty-free in India. Our focus is on building resilient livelihoods for both youth with disabilities, with a focus on the most vulnerable, women with disabilities. Towards this, we partner with governments, markets, and civil society to remove physical and attitudinal barriers and enable the scaling of evidence-based effective solutions. It is led by Meera Shenoy who has the unique experience of working in senior government positions, World Bank and UNDP. This transformational work has won several national and international awards.
