Welcome, everyone. My name is Dave Eiropati. I'm the president and CEO of S2Tech and IT Services

Company based in St. Louis, Missouri. It's a great honor and privilege to be part of

Dash Dash Bandai's conversation with Sudguru as a moderator to explore the topic of

inspiring tomorrow's entrepreneurs. We have two amazing entrepreneurs here, Sudguru, who founded

Non-profit organization, Asia Foundation, and Guru Raj Dash Bandai, who founded several

four-profit organizations, both have made a huge impact on human well-being across the world.

Sudguru, known as the cool dude on a motorcycle, among American children, is ranked among the 50

most influential people in India. Sudguru is a yogi, mystic and visionary. He has been

conferred three presidential awards in India, including one for his environmental work,

as well as the country's highest annual civilian award for exceptional and distinguished

service. Three decades ago, Sudguru founded Asia Foundation, a non-profit human services organization

with human well-being as it's the core commitment. The Foundation has initiated yoga programs for

human transformation and outreach projects to uplift rural communities. Asia is supported by

11 million volunteers in more than 300 centers across the world. Thank you, Sudguru, for being part

of the conversation. Dr. Guru Raj Dash Bandai, known as Dash Dash Bandai is the President and Chairman

of Sparta Group LLC. Dr. Dash Bandai founded Cascade Communications with $1,000 investment,

and sold it for 3.7 billion. Dr. Dash Bandai's next company, Sycamore Networks, which went

public in 1999, made him the richest Indian and over 70% of internet traffic at one point of time

was routed using his company routers. Dr. Dash Bandai has chaired and funded several other companies

since then. So, Dash Bandai is a live member of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Corporation,

and Dash Bandai co-chaired the National Council to support President Obama's innovation and

entrepreneur strategy from 2010 to 2015. Thank you, Dash, for being part of this conversation.
