Naveen Jain: Success Means Giving
Renowned entrepreneur and philanthropist Naveen Jain thinks that economic crises should not hinder companies and individuals to give and help. For Naveen Jain, a company should not just solely aim to become financially successful, but should continually review its core values and the understanding that the best way to give back to the communities is to be simply their good neighbors.
The CEO and co-founder of Intelius considers charitable giving a responsibility — he has unfailingly driven the company to step up when the economy has drove others to step back. Indeed, Naveen Jain and Intelius have remained undaunted in the face of the present global financial crisis. Even as several corporations were forced to cut back on charitable endeavors last year, Naveen Jain-helmed Intelius went against the flow and gave a record-breaking $210,000 to over a dozen nonprofit foundations.
Driven by Naveen Jain’s dynamic leadership, vision, and philanthropic zeal, Intelius remains a sincere community partner and continues to give to a diverse group of nonprofits supporting education, healthcare, youth and family issues. Some of the recipients of the outreach efforts of Intelius are: The Bellevue School Foundation, Eastside Domestic Violence Program, TreeHouse, Kindering Care, Vedic Cultural Center, Bellevue Boys & Girls Club, and Children’s Hospital.
Naveen Jain’s company is an online public records firm that provides a wide array of information-based services. It focuses primarily on background check, identity theft protection, and people search services. Naveen Jain co-founded Intelius in 2003 on the premise that large portions of online users get information that is outdated and inaccurate. Uttar Pradesh-raised Naveen Jain and several of his colleagues from InfoSpace then established a system that continually gathers updated information from publicly-available databases and from this outputs comprehensive reports that their clients can use for security and people search purposes.
