A Family Tree Rooted in Sai - - a conversation with Ms. Shailaja Nagaraja, an alumna of SSSIHL :
Shailaja Nagaraja was born and brought up in the city of Bangalore. Her maternal grandparents and the rest of the family came into the Sai fold in the 1970s. Shailaja comes from a family of three girls. Among her siblings and across her extended family, someone or the other has been a student of the Sai educational institutions for most part of the 33-year-period, spanning 1977 to 2010. M. N. Shailaja, as she was known then, joined the Sri Sathya Sai Arts and Science College in Anantapur in 1983. She completed her intermediate studies by 1985. Thereafter, she joined her undergraduate programme at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning and completed her B. Sc. in Home Science in 1988. Subsequently, she pursued her post-graduate studies in Psychology from Chennai’s Annamalai University. Shailaja after her studies, followed a rather unlikely career path. In 1992, she began with a sales and marketing job in Bangalore and by 1998, she moved on to operations for a corporate help desk in Bangalore. In 2002, she joined America Online or AOL in Bangalore as the Service Delivery Manager and rose to the position of Director, Operations. Thereafter, she joined Aegis BPO as Vice-President, Operations, for South India and Sri Lanka. Shailaja comes from a family with inter-generational connection with Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba. Nicknamed the Chettiar family by Bhagwan, Shailaja Nagaraja has enjoyed profuse Sai blessings since her early childhood.
