Bio: Mano is co-founder at AI Agent management platform Hypermindz.ai. He was previously chief product officer at Liveintent, CEO at Nikaza and has held product-engineering roles at Neustar, AddThis and AOL.

Why: I grew up in a family of educators, and from an early age, I understood that education is so much more than just reading and writing—it’s a transformative force that can change lives and uplift entire communities. Over the years, I’ve witnessed firsthand how quality education can open doors, empower individuals, and foster long-term growth. This deep-seated belief drives my passion to be a part of Team Dayā.

Team Dayā is a committed group of professionals from the advertising and technology fields who use their skills to make a real impact by building schools in areas that desperately need proper educational facilities. By joining Team Dayā, I not only honor my family’s legacy but also contribute to a mission that fights against poverty and illiteracy, ensuring that children receive the education they truly deserve.

Being part of Team Dayā means collaborating with passionate individuals who are dedicated to creating meaningful change. Every project  is a step toward breaking the cycle of poverty and paving the way for a future where every child has the chance to thrive. For me, it’s all about making a genuine impact—helping to create safe, nurturing environments for learning and growth, and ensuring that education remains a guiding light for communities in need.
