About Us
The Next Genius Scholarship Program was co-founded in 2014 by the dynamic father-son duo of Naveen & Neeraj Mandhana. They follow in the footsteps of the late Shree Bhawarlalji Mandhana, retired Judge, Rajasthan High Court, and retired Law Secretary of Rajasthan. The program is made possible by generous donations from our partner colleges and certain HNIs.
Naveen Mandhana, ex-Director of Videocon Group, and an engineer by education is an alumnus of BITS Pilani. He actively overlooks the management of the program. Neeraj Mandhana is a distinguished career counselor based in Mumbai and is an alumnus of the University of Cambridge and UCLA. He overlooks the talent search process and manages the college and corporate partnerships.
The small leadership team includes Devesh Lathi, Radha Venkatraman, Kajol Shah and Rudra Vyas.
