Being the scion of a family-owned business, the importance of both family & education remain core pillars in Jay’s life. In fact, it’s so important to him and his family that he and his wife Rucha launched their own school based on the Acton model which is designed for education in the modern world. The two have been married since 2003, and their children Shriya and Yagna have inherited the pair’s curiosity.
