-social entrepreneur
After working for three years in the corporate sector with Xerox and Technology Holdings, Vishal co-founded Dream A Dream in 1999.
As the Director, he is involved in the vision achievement, strategic direction and management of Dream A Dream.
Vishal is an Ashoka Fellow ( www.ashoka.org ) and also sits on Boards of many organizations including Unltd India, ITIHAS and Bangalore Cares. He has represented Dream A Dream at many national and international forums including as an “Architect of the Future” at the Waldzell Meetings – A Global Dialog on Inspiration at Austria.
His most touching and memorable moment has been, ‘when a young child said that, “If not for the guidance he got from Dream A Dream, he would have been out on the streets. Dream A Dream helped him find his dream and the courage to pursue it.”
Vishal wants to set the highest benchmarks of credibility, impact, transparency and accountability within Dream A Dream thus building a successful, scaleable and highly effective organization.
Vishal is a brilliant social entrepreneur. And most of all he is a wonderful human being. Dream a Dream has helped transform lives of so many children and not only that, so many of their volunteers have come out as much more evolved and sensitive beings.
I wish this beautiful spirit- Vishal Talreja the very BEST always. It is such a fine feeling when you know somebody who is so genuinely good.
