About Akshay Surve
Akshay is on a pursuit of making meaning through his initiatives. He works in different roles from being a code junkie to that of being the founder of SocialSync, a social venture startup and switches between them with ease. He is working on innovative ways to raise funds for non-profits through mainstream social media at GoodCompany Ventures in Philadelphia.
He loves spending all-nighters coding and experimenting with apis, riding on rails, participating in hackathons and keeping a check on latest trends. When not programming on his MacBook he goes backpacking and frequently disappears for hikes in the Sahayadris. He was last seen taking a leap from a mountain top and soaring the skies solo in what looked like an elongated umbrella from far.

Walmik Deshpande
Senior Developer, Grandmother India was with another company when working with Akshay at SocialSync
April 8, 2009“Akshay is a dynamic and brilliant human being. He is what this country’s new found glory as ‘India Shining’ and the very recent Oscar winner ‘Jai Ho’ signifies – A spirit of celebration through worship of work and genuine concern for humanity. At the core, Akshay is a ‘problem solver’. He is generously blessed with the gift of clarity and focus. He is capable of looking at a long term goal and then planning the exact steps required to achieving it. Conversely, he is also capable of looking at a small glitch in the present and trace its steps to its possible future outcome thus understanding the importance of every word he utters and every action he takes. In one word he is an ‘asset’ to any kind of relation, professional as well as personal. I wish Akshay all the very best in life and I recommend him whole heartedly in any and every association you wish to undertake with him.”
