Anitha Beberg

BIO

Anitha Beberg, an alumni of the Silicon Valley Founder Institute, is the Founder and CEO of Seva Exchange, which is a platform using machine learning technologies to galvanize global volunteerism by reinventing timebanking and other mutual reciprocity-based services for the modern digital economy. Seva means "selfless service" in Sanskrit. Prior to founding Seva Exchange, Anitha Beberg spent more than a decade in software Project Management, working with companies including Infineon, Sun Microsystems, Cadence, and HP. While taking time to raise a family, she began to spend even more of her time volunteering. When she met Dr. Cahn who pioneered timebanking, where you give an hour of service, get a time credit redeemable for an hour of service for yourself, she knew that emerging software technologies could help the alternative time-based currency to scale globally. Seva Exchange was formed after Edgar Cahn, the creator of timebanking, asked her to start a for-profit benefit corporation that would also support the nonprofit. Anitha is using her technical know-to mainstream her mutual aid SevaX platform around the world which is especially important during and after this global pandemic to help individuals and marginalized communities get the help they need and become resilient.
