About Aparna Raman
Aparna Raman, Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer at Schlumberger, has been featured in promotional content for The Juggernaut, a publication covering South Asian news. In a 2021 testimonial, she stated that South Asians "deserve news coverage that's more nuanced and intelligent than what we're getting today" and described the publication as making her feel "so connected to my community and my history." She also noted that the subscription "costs less than a cup of chai a month — well, a cup of chai in New York, that is." In a 2016 interview about her entrepreneurial work with Timbuktoo Publishing, Raman said that "entrepreneurs need to meet a social need" and that "it's not enough to build a product without addressing the real problems people face." She described building "a public platform for kids to access playful, educational content" and stated that "technology helps children read" and that laptops are "transformational for learning." She also said she thrives on "the challenge of opening a new market."
