Swaroon Sridhar

Swaroon Sridhar is one of the co-founders of 33 Buckets and currently serves as a board member. He earned his Bachelor’s in Biomedical Engineering from Arizona State University, where he met the other co-founders, and Master’s in Management Science and Engineering from Columbia University. He brings experience in technology development, scientific research, and social entrepreneurship to the team, having worked as a Data Science Manager at Amazon, a researcher at the Mayo Clinic and Translational Genomics Research Institute, and a leader at Biomeducate, an educational equity non-profit that he founded.

Swaroon’s fondest memory at 33 Buckets was when the founding team won $17.5K in the Pakis Social Entrepreneurship Challenge in 2016. The team’s victory at the competition capped off a year of dramatic growth. At the beginning of the year, the team neither had projects to work on nor the capital to finance them. After the competition, 33 Buckets was well-funded, with two high-impact projects in Peru and the Dominican Republic to look forward to.

Swaroon’s life goal is to use technology to improve the human condition – they think his involvement with 33 Buckets speaks to that.
