PERSONA
Sesh is a rare combination of an expressive personality, who travels with ease between economic and regulatory affairs, public governance, arts and culture.
Sesh is very vocal about social, political and governance reforms. He believes that participation in governance is not an option for citizenry anywhere in the world. It is a part of Community Service. Therefore working with an elected government in an impartial manner for betterment of the country is a duty of all those who call themselves as citizens. As President J.F. Kennedy said “ASK NOT WHAT YOUR COUNTRY CAN DO FOR YOU, ASK WHAT YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR COUNTRY”. It also means, that make your elected governments accountable to what you elected them for. He also believes that every administration needs to listen to its citizens using the Voice of the Customer concept (used by marketeers around the world). That should in fact drive the election manifesto not the other way around. Sesh also believes that citizenry need to vote to express their decisive opinion and shying away from it is not right. He also believes in contributing to local communities where present.
He believes in integrated approach to taxes meaning one-point taxation. Taxes are the single most contributors to well-being of economy and businesses and therefore governments not only within the country and internationally as well, need to collaborate to ensure that tax payers are not burdened with multiple points of reporting and payment. In today age of technology this should be de- minimis and de-rigeur, not an option. How various participants in governance share the taxes should not be the burden of the tax payer. The same applies to all parts of governance, akin to “Single Sign on” so extensively used in Information Technology!
Promoting SME and MSME is his passion, he believes they are the lifeline of the economy besides the farmers. In agriculture practices, he believes that price discovery, efficient utilization of farm produce capacity, forward sale and ability to sell beyond local markets can by itself solve Agrarian distress without the need for inefficient subsidies that burn budgets but do not deliver.
While the industry knows him as a Chartered Accountant, Sesh started his school life with being a professional classical musician performing on the stage, until professional education required him to focus. An ardent connoisseur of various forms of music be it various Indian and art forms, Hindustani classical, Jazz, Irish music, Egyptian music besides being a Carnatic classical musician at the core.
Sesh’s family consists of his spouse Sujata Seshadrinathan, a doctoral student herself, classical dancer besides being an IT veteran, his son Shabarish Seshadrinathan who is a Chartered Accountant and daughter Souparnika, a student pursuing law.
