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.
