Creative Philanthropy at Its Very Best: the Business Life of Naveen Jain
Like many other people you’ll have seen mention of Mr. Naveen Jain’s name as being the CEO & co-founder of Intelius, Inc. the celebrated company offering background checks and public records services. In addition to having a position on the Forbes list “400 Richest in America” in 2000, this maverick business leader has won a variety of choice awards, notably the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award, the WSA Industry Achievement Award, and the Albert Einstein Technology Medal. But that is certainly not the end of the story. Because Mr. Naveen Jain and his kin are by the same token as zealous about philanthropy and will seek to give aid wherever possible.
Our children are beyond doubt our most important resource. They are moreover a crucial motivation for this entrepreneur, and he takes advantage of any opportunity available to help them. This is why he is always meticulously leveraging every opening available to him to lend a helping hand whenever it is practicable. Consequently, Naveen Jain, his kin and those at Intelius have decided to actually walk the talk: they have pledged their time and effort to charities such as United Way, the Rotary Club, and the Bellevue Boys and Girls Club. Obviously they hand out ample financial assistance, but more importantly they pledge their time and care to the most needy and susceptible children. Furthermore, Mr. Jain helps the Children’s Hospital in an effort to restore children’s health too. With Naveen Jain being a graduate of XLRI Jamshedpur and the Indian Institute of Technology, it is hardly surprising that schooling constitutes a critical focus in his humanitarian endeavors. This encompasses movements and good causes local, state, and nationwide. Thus Intelius and its CEO are assisting deserving interest groups and charities, for example the Overlake Service League, the Children’s Hospital and Child Rights and You (CRY).
Providing for the planet’s destitute is an additional significant objective to Naveen Jain and his relatives and it makes no difference in the least to him whether it is a baby in India or Frankfurt, or an old homeless lady from Bruges or Aberdeen needing assistance. While he is acutely mindful that the ambition to feed every hungry person in the world can seem to be an impossible task, he is also cognizant that the impossible can actually be reachable when everyone struggles towards a common end. If this business leader should actually have his way, there will come a final cessation to privation and hunger everywhere at some point. One may imagine that functioning as the man in full operative control of a very successful market leading enterprise and a committed husband and family man would leave him little spare time for charitable activities. Yet Naveen ensures that each one of his humanitarian efforts may rely on as much attention as he can conceivably contribute. This untiringly philanthropic entrepreneur is most certainly more than merely a business maverick. He is, even more importantly, also a perfectly wonderful individual and a real community activist.
