Dr Sushil Kumar Nag Chowdhury, of the 31st generation, graduated from Calcutta Medical College in 1928. In 1933 he earned a postgraduate degree from the University of Edinburgh. He came home in 1936, and from 1937 he led the Ear, Nose and Throat department at Calcutta Medical College, later becoming its Principal.
In the 33rd generation, Sankha NagChoudhury, son of Rajat and grandson of Santosh Kumar, carries the family story forward.
Sankha NagChoudhury was born in Kolkata and grew up in Hyderabad, India. His early years were shaped by family, Bengali heritage and the many cultures of the places he called home. Today, he and his wife, Pallavi, are raising their children, Anushka and Ashank, in Texas. Wherever life has taken them, family, learning and helping others have remained central to who they are.
Sankha has built a career at the intersection of technology, business and people. As a senior leader at ServiceNow, he works on how organizations can use AI and automation to make work better and more effective. He is especially interested in a question that reaches beyond technology: as machines take on more work, how do people make sure the outcomes remain responsible and accountable?
That question inspires his writing. Sankha is the author of A Novice’s Guide to Wealth, The Wealth Engine™: Let Money Learn. Let AI Work., and What “A”I Believe… Autonomous Work. Accountable People. Across his books, he explores wealth, technology and the choices people make as the world changes. He donates the net proceeds from his books to support scholarships through Hariom Helps Foundation.
Giving back is a family commitment as well as a personal one. Through Hariom Helps Foundation and its connected projects—including Fund My Dreams, Emotional Teen and Let Money Grow—the family supports education, student opportunity and well-being. Their guiding idea is simple: use what you know and what you have to help someone else move forward.
Away from work and writing, Sankha is a proud husband and father. He takes joy in watching Anushka and Ashank discover their own interests, build ideas and find ways to contribute. He hopes their family story will be remembered not only for what they achieved, but for the care they showed one another and the good they tried to do along the way.
