Dr. U. Suma Rao’s journey with Bhagwan began as a student of the Balvikas programme in Mumbai. She then went on to pursue her studies at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning where she received the All-Rounder Gold Medal from the Divine hands of Bhagwan in the year 1990.Dr. Suma is currently serving as Associate Professor in the Department of Commerce and Management at the Anantapur Campus, which she joined upon Bhagwan’s command in 1998. She completed her Ph.D. on ‘Top women Executives in India’ in 2014. Her study explored structure and agency in the areas of work-life balance and gender bias. She is also the recipient of the ‘Sai Krishna Award’ given by the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Learning for excellence in teaching. Her family has been closely associated with Bhagavan since the late eighties. In addition to excellence in academics, teaching and mentoring students, she is also a superlative actor who has time and again been appreciated by Bhagwan for dramatic performances in her student days. She is also an inspired artist with several creative artworks to her credit. Personally, she defines herself as a seeker, a learner and a pilgrim in the long, but sure journey towards Sai.
