Synopsis

How do we build a community where our first priority is to nurture the safety, self esteem and psycho-emotional well being of every child? As parents, caregivers, teachers, schools, organizations and governments engage in the business of caring for children, it is imperative that we create environments that nurture their physical, emotional and cognitive well being.

  • ⁠Share experiences and insights

  • Discover practical strategies for fostering holistic child development

  • Contribute to shaping a collective vision for nurturing environments that empower every child to thrive

Speaker

Ashokan Ramakrishnan

Head of Smart Metering business at iWOW | Honorary Secretary of SPARK

Ashokan Ramakrishnan heads the Smart Metering business at iWOW, an IoT technology provider that helps businesses uncover unconscious waste in their utility consumption. He is deeply concerned about climate change and believes that businesses must play a key part in creating a more sustainable future. In his spare time, he serves on the Executive Committee of the Mother Earth Toastmasters, a non-profit that helps eco-ambassadors hone their communication skills so that they can inspire communities to take climate action.

Ashokan also serves as the Honorary Secretary of SPARK, a local charity that supports those with ADHD and their families thrive. And most recently, he was elected as the Honorary Treasurer of A GOOD SPACE, which is Singapore’s first and only cooperative for changemakers and social entrepreneurs.  But the role that he is most passionate about, is that of a parent. This is the role that he was least prepared for and the one that he has grown the most in.
