Born and Raised in the USA, Dr Ravi Singh, is the oldest of three children born and raised by immigrant parents in the suburbs of Chicago. Their father, a respected doctor, faced harsh discrimination in the medical field for wearing a turban, when he first came to the United States from Myanmar, but despite these challenges, he became the Chief of Radiology at Rush-Copley Hospital in Aurora, Illinois for more than 30 years.
Dr. Singh ingrained in Ravi the urge to serve. At the age of 16 Dr Ravi Singh secured a part-time volunteer job as an emergency room assistant at the same hospital when he was in high school so that he could learn to help others. His primary duties were to check-in patients and clean up dry blood or clean the rooms. It was his father’s wish for his son to become a medical doctor, a common aspiration of many Asian American families. Nonetheless, Ravi did become a doctor in philosophy with a specialization in social media and technology. His father responded, “I told my son to become a doctor, and what does he do? he becomes a doctor of watching cat videos on social networks.”
Dr. Ravi Singh is an internet pioneer whose passion for writing, inventing technology, and startups have earned him a reputation as the “Campaign Guru,” according to Business Week Magazine and USA Today. Ravi Singh is one of the first individuals in the world who holds a doctoral degree with a specialization in social media and technology. He is a social media expert in strategy and social media voice, helping leaders, brands, and celebrities with their digital communications. He holds lectures on social media networks and is an advocator for e-democracy throughout the world.
