SOURAV DAS
GROUP CHIEF OF DIGITAL & IT, RUPA & CO. AND CHAIRMAN OF PTA
"PTA or Philanthropic Technical Association is trying to build an ecosystem. The ecosystem includes the CIOs and IT heads, who are the practicing IT leaders, technology providers, academia and policy makers. So, with this platform, a lot of us have come together and doing some very innovative work. So, PTA was established two years ago, in 2024, and it’s been a very long journey. We are presently about 130 members in Kolkata and West Bengal. Also, we have a working committee and try how we can help build the ecosystem. We have done a lot of leadership talks, regular discussions, and networking sessions. We did a lot of master classes and workshops and a lot of community workshops where we go and donate time and certain things. After PTA was established, we did some very interesting exercises like Santa Comes to CIO, PTA Leadership Talk, with Bengal Chambers we partnered in their programs etc."
