What is the background of Rohan Shinde?
Rohan Shinde – I was born & brought up in Nashik city, Maharashtra. I am a Mechanical Engineering graduate from K.K Wagh Engg College, Nashik. Recently, I pursued an MBA- HR from Sinhgad Institute of Management, Pune, in 2019. I worked with TCS Pune for 3.5 years as a CAD Design, Quality Control & Production Support engineer, and CSR representative.
Could you elaborate on Changemakers Today?
Rohan Shinde – It was conceptualized to address all prevalent issues in our society through mutual collaboration to maximize the social impact & make actions more sustainable. We actively work towards multiple issues/causes like education of underprivileged children, environmental conservation, sustainable living, climate change, global warming, poverty eradication, hunger, health, hygiene, cleanliness, animal welfare, human rights violation, women empowerment, gender equality, organ donation awareness, physical disability, unemployment, peace, justice, etc. & few of the 17 sustainable development goals.
So far, around 200+ NGO’s, CSO’s, Corporates, Social Enterprises, College Groups, Social Activists, etc., are associated with us, forming a robust ecosystem. It is based on the demand-supply principle to understand how other change-makers could address one’s requirements. The platform helps bridge the gap between NGOs, Corporates, Social Activists & Citizens from all walks of life who are collectively striving to create a better and inclusive society. It is a web of like-minded people for clean, green, better & inclusive Pune. We appeal to various organizations and like-minded people to get associated with us, since individually, we are one drop, but together we are an ocean.
Your employment-related initiatives?
Rohan Shinde – My recent initiative, “Connecting Pune HR recruiters,” addresses the social/economic cause of unemployment, strengthens the hiring process, & helps employers finding suitable candidates in the labor market. We have around 100+ associated clients & our platform assists them in terms of their requirements & other recruitment-related challenges. I regularly conduct Coffee with HR recruiters meetups which provide a platform for employers to get associated with our initiative, fulfill their current workforce requirements, share best practices & socially network with like-minded recruiters.
I have also conducted a Job Fair with DSDE&E, Govt of Maharashtra, at MMCOE Pune in September 2018 with a footfall of 1200+ applicants & 45+ employers offering jobs across various domains.
