Pradeep Ghosh, Founder, OASiS

“In a social enterprise you need to have the head of a businessman but the heart of a social worker.” Pradeep Ghosh, a social entrepreneur, and innovator is here to share his understanding of this sector with us on The Brand Called You podcast. Pradeep is the Founder of OASiS, a social innovations laboratory that develops new models for the social sector. Pradeep started his career as an IT Professional at the age of 20 and worked his way up for the next 15 years to become the Asia Pacific Head of the company he had worked for. This is when he started to explore the true meaning of his life and he jumped right into the social sector. He realized that there was a gap that needed to be bridged in this sector and he contributed by creating a platform that recognizes social issues in the community and creates simplified solutions. These solutions are available for everyone who is willing to drive change in society. Pradeep talks to us about a museum school he has built using museums as the place facilitating it with teachers who are teaching students from the slum areas. This initiative is helping bridge the disparity that exists in our education system. Pradeep has worked for the community for many years and he’s recognized all over the world for his work. He shares the challenges of the social sector for our viewers and shares how he has learned so much on his journey. Pradeep shares the meaning of social work and shares how millennials and gen z’s are changing this area by being more invested in the community much more than the previous generations. He remarks that social work has become a “fashion statement” in today’s world. A compassionate person at heart, Pradeep shares his views on success and failure. He advises the young social workers to be fully transparent and honest to achieve credibility. Tune in and get inspired!
