Hello SVUK members,
My name is Viswanathan Veerappan, and I am excited to join this vibrant community focused on social value. I am currently pursuing an MSc in Prosperity, Innovation, and Entrepreneurship at University College London, where I am deepening my understanding of social value frameworks and sustainable development practices in the UK. I will be completing my course by September and am actively seeking internships or full/part-time roles as a Social Value Officer or Social Value Manager, so please feel free to share any opportunities you come across!
With a background in corporate social responsibility, I have worked as an Assistant Manager at Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Limited, where I developed comprehensive social value reporting systems and established strategic partnerships to enhance community engagement. My experience also includes leading impactful projects such as the RedFlag App, which supported government teachers working with special needs children, and managing a digital literacy initiative that reached over 2.8 million beneficiaries.
I am particularly passionate about fostering community well-being and creating innovative programs that drive social impact. I look forward to engaging with all of you, sharing insights, and learning from your experiences in the field.
Thank you, Catherine, for creating this forum. I am eager to connect with fellow members and contribute to our shared mission of enhancing social value practices.
Best regards,
Viswanathan Veerappan
