President, ISKCON Bangalore & Chairman, Great India Talent FoundationMadhu Pandit Dasa is the President of ISKCON Bangalore and the Chairman of "The Great India Talent Foundation". He also serves as the Chairman of the Akshaya Patra Foundation, the world's largest NGO-run school meal programme. With decades of experience building institutions that serve the marginalised, he brings to GITF a rare combination of spiritual vision and operational scale.
