Meet the NavaCup team
Ganesh Navaratnarajah is the founder of the NavaCup initiative. Ganesh holds a degree in Aerospace Engineering from Toronto Metropolitan University. Coupling his engineering degree with several self-taught IT principles, Ganesh worked for several companies in an IT capacity before opening his own IT consulting firm.
Currently living in Toronto and having grown up in East Scarborough, Ganesh has witnessed first-hand the effects of the digital divide in urban environments. His drive to create NavaCup events is based on the premise that all youth in his community should be afforded the same opportunities as their peers for learning and growth.
Ganesh is a sports fanatic who especially enjoys being active in Volleyball, Soccer, and Tennis. Those tournament shoes come off the golf course too!
