About Vasudeva Reddy Chinna

Enough shovels of earth - a mountain. Enough pails of water - a river.\" ― Chinese proverb “Today more than ever, the traditional boundaries between politics, culture, technology, finance, national security and ecology are disappearing. You often cannot explain one without referring to the others, and you cannot explain the whole without reference to them all.” ― Thomas L. Friedman, The Lexus and the Olive Tree These ideas somewhat reflect my beliefs and journey, from being a rookie techie, hailing from a remote South Indian Andhra village having few resources, to the bustling Metropolis of New York City bursting with energy. I could always feel a sense of restlessness, an irresistible desire to go beyond my immediate vocation, learn, enrich and excel through convergence. I had started out as a techie, but my strong connection to my roots and culture, encouraged me to venture into the South Indian Entertainment space. The inherent connections between the Entertainment Industry & Politics in India, coupled with my desire to contribute to the improvement of the lives of the people of my region, resulted in a brief stint in electoral politics at a historic juncture in the State Politics. Then the convergence of Technology, Entertainment, Politics and Business, put me in a unique position, to pursue value creation as well as innovation in Digital space, which I am sure, I would not have been in, had I pursued just any one of these. Each experience has been a \'shovel of earth’, each experience a ‘pail of water’. My experiences in each of these fields enrich(ed) me and made me view things holistically and equipped me to face challenges with greater confidence and motivate me to ‘dream’ bigger, always! Creating, Collaborating on relevant Products for a wired world, seeped in a philosophy of \'Glocalization\', excites me.

Experience

   Teamaid

   Oct 2017 — Present · Southborough, MA, US

   Team Aid was founded in 2017 on one fundamental principle: Helping people living abroad that need assistance after experiencing devastating circumstances. In this global economy, many people choose to immigrate to a foreign country to seek better opportunities for themselves and their families. However, sometimes, tragedy strikes and people find themselves dealing with unforeseeable accidents, untimely deaths, natural disasters, or some other sort of upsetting event with no one to turn to. Fortunately, Team Aid is here to help people living abroad during chaotic times to help individuals that experience unexpected tragedies, especially tragedies that they are unprepared to resolve on their own.
